Well after a year of mostly great things, we've hit a roadblock. Travis our insanely talented and very flaky drummer told us we need to find a new drummer. His life is too hectic to give us his full attention.
No hard feelings but the show must go on. Literally. Here is the new ad I am about to post on craigslist. (and yes the band got started via craiglist so viva technology)
"Subject line: Argh! Now is not the time to lose a drummer!!!
We are a band called Legs Against Arms who have been together about a year. A new EP is in the final stages (months in the working). Brand new website nearly complete. We have played several decent venues around town, including Emo's opening for Oh No, Oh My and Corto Maltese. A review of that show is a quick Google search away.
Anyway, Murphy's Law is a bitch and we are now without a drummer. He was good.
So this is an ad in search of a drummer who knows what he/she is doing.
A drummer who thinks more like a musician instead of just a drummer. someone who understands dynamics, volume control, and structure.
A drummer who can soft rock one second and then furiously indie rock dance party USA the next.
Someone who can practice at least twice a week. We are flexible with schedules but this project is also a priority for us.
Someone who is fun, positive and just a cool person to be around.
We understand you are not our old drummer and expect new energy to change things around a bit. We look forward to what you bring to the table.

We're a bit reluctant to show our myspace because everything else we play sounds nothing like these two songs. These songs are on the outskirts of our style but its all we have until the EP is released yada yada.
But now would be a good time to join us. We have passed our "new band" stage and have solid material and can get shows relatively easily. Who knows what this EP will do for us.
Feel free to pass this on to anyone who might be interested. We'd like to meet someone ASAP and get prepped for shows. Thanks."
This will not stop us.

wow dude. well we talked about this. and yeah, it's going to be an immediate pain, but long-term, you guys can play more gigs and practice more and really get going. dave grohl joined nirvana right before nevermind. they canned the last dude and took off.
good luck on the search.
