New Songs!

Yes chilrens. If you come to see Illicitizen next weekend. We promise at least one new one and one that only our SC peeps have heard. (Well, except for you old timers.) Steve and Maria were in the studio tracking the rhythm for the newest song. I did the guitar part last night. I might even get this vocal done this morning!
Also, stay tuned for Steve's new drums. Jimmy V. Poplin is custom building him a kit to replace the venerable and questionable Frocky drums.
We'll be posting pictures and audio of the new one soon. So stay tuned. Don't touch that dial.
**Extra Credit**
We also tracked "Therapy" all over, since all the recordings we have up are with the drum machine. We are gearing up for redoing ALL the tracks that we've posted online. Once the drums get here we'll likely take a little time off from playing shows to knock these outs.

Hey, look up there^

There's another little man. And he's playing the drums!
We call him "Steve."

Come see him in Greenville SC with those other two people.

Now with Drums

Well, here it is. Illicitizen welcomes Steve DeCaro as our drummer. Our first practice went really well. Our first gig is March 15 in Greenville, SC.

Come on now.

What if we tried out a drummer?

What would people think? Would it be surrender? Would it be victory? Would it hurt? Would we become an option for them while they became a priority for us? Would we become dependent and suffer withdrawals? Would it require larger doses of drums to achieve the same effect after a period of use? Would this be a gateway instrument that caused us to end up begging on the street for spare change to tempt that ace bandeneon player? Would the convention of having a drummer birth other conventions? Would we start doing Meat Loaf covers? Bar Mitzvahs? Would we get in arguments about which ZZ Top albums were REALLY the important ones? Would I go looking for someone like Phil Collins (only because he has worse hair than I do)? What would become of the little synthy bits we use to cover up the 8 beats of count-in starting a song? Why not hire a horn section? Some gospel singers? A !#*%+$^ marching band?
Just wondering...
