    hey, my band, Robbie and the Robots, needs a new drummer. my old drummer started showing up late for shows, then he came to a show but forgot his drums, and then he forgot to come to a show. ugh. I had to fire him. if any of ya'll drum or know a drummer please help me out.
    a reminder of our credentials:
    We were voted 2004's best alternative Austin band in The Edge Magazine
    We have a record coming out soon that we need to play to promote
    Our sound can be described as mix of early REM, Cake, The Beach Boys and the Beatles.
    we play a lot in san antonio.
    I've posted stuff everywhere to try to find a new drummer. thought i'd give spurstalk a try.

    Zstomp likes to pretend he's a drummer, you might want to ask him. Actually he thinks he's Elvis, but I don't think you need a vocalist j/k Z :p

    But seriously, where do you play here in town? It sounds like you guys are pretty good. Would definitely want to check you out.

    It looks like their next show is in San Marcos, but I know he plays in Austin a lot ... and in San Antonio sometimes.

    Well, we don't have any shows coming up because we don't have a drummer... but normally we play at the beethoven in San Antionio.
    tlongII-- Some guy from Poland wanted to try out. I'll send yall a private jet and you can ride together. right.
    That next show in San Marcos is a Motown Hoot Night, and we have a temp drummer playing with us for that one. We're playing "Let's get it On" and "Superfreak" among others. Sweet.
    Yea, he forgot his drums. I never even freakin' heard of that before. One time I forgot to bring a guitar pick. That kinda sucked too.

    The first time I played at a show, I forgot my strap. I sat on a chair and played, but the mic stand was just vertical, it didn't have another one of those pivots. I have no idea what the terminology is.

    Anyhow, It was a the way I had to hold everything to reach the mic, and even then I wasn't getting ful volume.

    Nice tunes, especially Waltz in G Major on the site, but no drums in either sample.

    Sorry we don't have any samples with a drummer. I only have one commercial release right now and it's an acoustic record. soon we should have some songs with drums up there. If you'd like to hear some songs with drums on them and are truly interested in trying out, email me and i'll send you the "audition" link.

    Actually, the tryout was for a friend. If you send me your link through the FSP private message feature maybe I can hook you two guys up. He's always looking for pros to play with. The guys is a consumate pro when it comes to his drumming.
