See the world, Bang on a drum
Submitted by imaginary liz on July 3, 2007.I know you’re busy this Friday and Saturday (at the TIG bday shows) but after that… are you free for five or six weeks? Want hang out with a fun group of people as you crisscross the country in a van?
Pick up thine drumsticks and give Red Pony Clock a call!
Here’s a message from RPC’s myspace page:
Well, the trip is only 17 days away. But if anyone's interested, we'd still love to have a drummer on our 6 week tour. Those of you who said, "I could ask my friend, but I'm sure they'll find someone." We haven't, so please go ahead and ask your friend.
It's amazing how many people have thought it was okay to string us along forever, going so far as learning a set, only to back out and leave us high and dry. The darkness of the human soul just blows my mind.
We are fun people going on a fun trip around the funnest country in the world!! We will fly someone in, if they're willing to do some work at home beforehand. We don't need you to be the greatest drummer in the world. Just keep the beat and have fun.

And if you play with them you'll get to play the Athens PopFest! And we could hang out there and catch up on old times! And then you could play your hometown (I think they're playing here in August). Just think of the all the fun you'll have!

these guys are amazingly nice and a lot of fun live. their set at athens popfest last year was a real highlight for me. and really, they are genuinely welcoming and kind people. if you're a drummer and you've got a thing for really even one or 2 of the 30 billion styles that make up RPC, go at least check out their tour dates - they've got great shows booked, including lots of fun festivals, dates in NYC and at Emo's in Austin, and just about everything else in between. this is a great opportunity for someone who wants to spend their summer hanging out with a whole country full of indie pop kids, seeing neat bands and meeting show-booking types. lots and lots of fun...

Yeah! That's what I'm talking about? How can anyone who can keep the beat who has a free summertime pass this up? This sounds like such fun!

I wonder if they could list the locales at which the drummer can access wi-fi? Will the van be a 'hot spot'?

Oh -- I wonder if there could be a drummer relay team-- Rick you can take 2 weeks... is there anyone else that can take another 2 week set? And so on? Perhaps diversifying the team is the ticket.

OMG, Red Pony Clock!! These guys played a TIG show a year or so ago (after five years, it's starting to all blend together, eep!). They were SO NICE and their music was amazing too.
I wish I could go!
