BRO SURE IS DEAD PT 2
(continued from last week)
The band started playing like crazy with, then unknown, Moses Guest,
Zwee, Global Village and a ton of other bands. There was definitely
promise, but when you are putting your heart on the line for a room
full of people who could not care less, it will begin to wear on
you.

Talks began about a full length record. We had recorded an EP,
entitled "Well Sir…", a few months prior to this and had no trouble
selling it at shows. The problem is when you are in a band you
progress faster than you could ever record and produce an album.
That is why taping and bootlegs are really the best way to "get to
know" a band. If you can watch them grow you learn to love the bad
nights as well as the good.

The next step is to raise the money for this record. So we played
and played and played. We were at the point where people called us
for gigs. No need to book, just wait for the phone. This in itself
is an accomplishment for any band. In such a large city with
hundreds of bands willing to play for free we had the paying clubs
calling us.

Seemed to most of us things were really moving forward. The studio
time was booked. We had our first of many "investors" (all of which
inevitably fell through) putting up the cash. The partnership was
starting to bloom. But, at this point we could tell that Andy was
unhappy and felt the ball would never really roll. Exit Andrew
Cowden - half way through the recording process; just when things
were really moving forward too.

Moses Guest asked them to play the CD release party for American
Trailer House Blues, Zwee asks them to open for a NYE party and they
are asked to play in Florida on the same stage that Ziggy Marley
played on the night before. They were all unstoppable performances.

Then our search began for a new member. The record will sit on the
back burner and we will move Marc to guitar and search for a new
drummer. We felt it was the easiest transition. To find a guitar
player that would happily learn the parts the way Andy wrote them,
would be much more difficult than to replace a rhythm instrument.
Or so we thought. (the rest of the story next week)
