New Line-Up!!

Three months ago, I realized I needed a band that could tour. Sure, Margo and Carl are great (and so am I), but three people can’t play such intricate pieces of music. You’ll understand this even more fully when Girth McDürchstein’s ‘The Return’ hits stores in August. I knew in March that I needed to get the band back together.

But how? Things didn’t end well between me and the rest of the band, and yet—I missed the guys. Who wouldn’t? With the exception of Mikey Parker, we were one of the best bands out there.

In March, I just decided to call them, see how they were doing. Little Riffs Nicky, in particular, was thrilled to hear from me. Mikey was less enthusiastic. The only one who adamantly refused is Jam, who seems to believe there’s a market for four-handed jazz piano. The man’s an idiot. Besides, we don’t need him—my lovely wife Margo has taken up keyboards over the past few months, and already she’s as good as Jam, if not better. Our line-up has somewhat balanced, finally. We are:

Girth McDürchstein — lead guitar, lead vocals
Margo Atwater — keyboards, harmony vocals
Little Riffs Nicky — rhythm guitar, harmony vocals
Mikey Parker — bass, harmony vocals
Carl Davenport — drums

I’m at peace now, with worthwhile members (and Mikey) back in my band.

As we put the finishing touches on The Return, I’m scheduling a tour. It looks like, for the first time in Abysmal history, we’ll be hitting southeast Asia. Look for an official announcement from our publicist, Lacey Greenwood, in coming weeks.
