Old Friends (Again)
Saturday June 21, 2008
Today I ran in to some more old friends of mine. Again, I was at Wegmans with Meg, and I saw two creepy guys waving at me from a car to next to us. At first, I didn't recognize them, so I just continued talking to Meg. Then, I looked back and saw them still waving. Then I realized it was Ian Horrace and Eric Khan. We go way back. I was in a band back in 2004 called Flux, and we needed a drummer for shows. We auditioned a couple, but didn't really like any of them. John Coleman then said he knew someone, and had him come over one day. It was Ian. We auditioned him and loved him right away, and he was with the band until the bitter end (literally.) At the same time, Ian was singing in a band called The Secret Life of Owls with Eric on bass. After Flux broke up, Ian joined me in Someone You Know, and then Eric and Ian joined me for a show with ex-Flux lead guitarist Alex Ridgel in Xyster. Then, Ian and Eric joined me in recording my album under the name Indrid Cold. But that time, he was on guitar, which he is miraculously better at (that's not to say he's not a good drummer, it's saying that it's a miracle that he could be better at anything than he is on drums.) Ian also played at my flop-of-a-benefit Christmas Eve 2 as we both played acoustic sets.
They are both growing beards! I take it as an homage to me. Lol. They actually look good on them. Neither are red though, but I'm positive it's because neither are as Irish as I am.
