We lost ‘groupie number 1′ and gained a bass player…

Our nickname for Patrick is ‘groupie number 1′ because he’s always really supportive whenever he hears us play.

But last week we lost ‘groupie number 1′ – because he joined the band. :)

As it happens – Pat rips it up on the upright bass.  He even MADE an upright bass when he was in highschool – yes, he’s that hardcore.

Ever since J and I met Pat (which was the night we recorded the cello parts for ‘First Breath’) – we wanted him to join the band.  But he was in another band so we didn’t want to ask him to join up and be rejected.  Basically, we had a band-love-triangle going on.

But at the last rehearsal, Pat asked if we wanted a bass player for the night – HUZZAH!  So he stepped in and away we went.  It sounded awesome, there was much joy, gladness and fat grooves.

We’re psyched he asked – it’s kind of like being too scared to ask someone out, but then they ask YOU out – except with music.  Welcome to Exitproject, Pat, we hope you stick around!
