Summer Control - Music

There Are Two Bands Named Drummer 1 A Rock Band From Akron Ohio Featuring Patrick Carney And 2 An Indie Rock Band From Canada Comprised Of Shotgun Jimmie And The Baird Brothers. 1. Drummer 2009 - Present Five Special Guys Feeling Good Together… That’s What Patrick Carney Drummer For The Black Keys Perceived In His Mind’s Eye One Snowy February Afternoon In 2009. “Dan Auerbach Vocalist/guitarist For The Black Keys Was Leaving On Tour To Support His Solo Record And I Wasn’t Going To Have Anything To Do For A While ” Says Patrick Of His Impetus To Start This New Band. He Immediately Established A Psychic Link With Old Friend Jamie Stillman Better Known As The Drummer In Both Columbus Ohio’s Hirsute Lumberjacks Teeth Of The Hydra And Kent Ohio’s Popular Art-School Dweebs Harriet The Spy. Jamie Liked The Idea Of A Band Dedicated To Good Feelings And Thought Their Mutual Pal Jon Finley Former Drummer For Kent Ohio’s Legendary Show-Offs Party Of Helicopters For Which Jamie Played Guitar And Current Singer/multi-Instrumentalist For Kent Ohio’s Lovable Ne’er-Do-Wells Beaten Awake Might Be Interested As Well. Via Three-Way Telepathic Hook-Up Jamie And Jon Discussed The Plan With Stephen Clements Drummer For Akron Ohio’s Blustery Train-Wreck Houseguest Knowing As They Did That Few Men Were More Skilled In The Subtle Science Of Feeling Good. Now Patrick Had Four Of His Intended Five. Four Drummers Not Drumming. Patrick Would Play Bass Jamie Guitar Jon Would Sing And Play Guitar And Steve Keyboards. But Now Who Would Drum The Drums? What Of A Band Of Four Drummers Without A Fifth To Drum Those Drums? The Answer Appeared In A Radiant Fever Vision Alighting Gently Upon All Four Brains Simultaneously The Perfect Fifth For This Proposed Super-Group Was Greg Boyd Late Of Cincinnati Ohio Surf-Rock Band Ghostman & Sandman. Greg Could And Would Hit Those Drums And Rhythmically No Less Without Hesitation. Retreating To Patrick’s North Akron Bunker The Band Began Writing Furiously In The Hopes Of Releasing A Record Before The Next Winter Set In. Engineering The Recording Sessions Was Ben Vehorn Whose Credits Include Love As Laughter Licorice Roots Houseguest And Other Girls. What Emerged Were Eleven Songs Of Classic Feel-Good Rock Suitable For Listening To While Doing Donuts With An ’86 IROC In The Dairy Queen Parking Lot Or Polishing Off A Six-Pack On The Local Par 3. The Five Members Of Drummer Are Your Kind Of People And Their Debut Album Feel Good Together Is Your Kind Of Music. It Encapsulates The Soul Of Northeastern Ohio Where Whether In Reference To Local Sports The Local Economy Or Just Trying To Find One’s Place In The World The Phrases “almost But Not Quite” And “better Luck Next Time” Are Applicable In Perpetuity. But Who Cares? Not Drummer. If Nothing Else Pans Out Hopefully We Can At Least Say We Had A Good Time. Whatever You Need To Do It Can Probably Wait ‘til Tomorrow. For Now Put The Record On Sit Down And Let’s Just Feel Good. Together! read less
