Any bad bands out there?
OK, OK, Where to start. I am the frontman for the band CYPHIN. We had a show at Aldo's a few weeks back and we had our friends open for us S.O.S. well to make a long story short. When we were there setting up our bass player had come in and was bragging about how he had been drinking since 7am that morning. Well at that time he diden't really seem that bad. Needless to say while we are setting up he is pounding drink after drink down. While our friends are finishing there last song and we are about to hit the stage, I had walked off the side of the stage to walk around where the dance floor is there and sure enough no more than I walk around the corner my bass player is running towards the door. Well he never made it, he pukes all over my shirt and paints, even some of that shit hit me in the face. Well about that time I am standing their thinking do I kick the living shit out of him or be civil about it. Also needless to say It was a pretty packed house that night. Made me feel like a real dick. Thank god a friend let me borrow a T-Shirt. Well after he walks back in he says( dude this flu is kickin my ass ) And I'm thinking flu my ass. Then he says after that, that his girlfriend and him have been trying to diet and she has him on this whatever shit. And I was like whatever dude If you dont play your done. And he was like O, O I feel better now. Well It was all he could do to stand, Some other friends were in the crowd that night Paul from Baddaze was going to lend us a hand on Bass and I had walked up to him and said no no,. I told Paul that If he could not play the show he was out. I was very greatful that Paul offered his services. At that point I felt he already made me look like an ass how much worse could it get. I knew If he could not perform he was done. Well we take the stage and go at it, it's everything he can to stand the hell up. He's swaying back and forth and I keep telling myself If he falls or passes out thats on him. Well anyhow a miracle from god did come and he did pull through that night. we had alot of really good compliments. But it is just one night I care to no longer think about. Needless to say he missed the next two practices after that show, so we have decided to part ways with him, I wont give his name. I have more respect than that. We have currently picked up a new bassist and he is no stranger to the music scene. Keep your ears open for upcomming shows.
