The Welch Boys need a drummer

From TJ Welch of The Welch Boys


---
Our drummer has left the band, and we are seeking a new drummer.

We play a style of punk rock similar to the Dropkick Murphys. We have been around for 5 years. We have 2 cd's out.

We are all older guys. I am the oldest.. and I'm 44. the others are in their 30's. We have a record contract. We have done some tour support for the Dropkick Murphys. We just opened for the Dead Kennedys last week at the Paradise. We play a fast and hard style of hardcore and punk, influenced by bands like the Clash, Black Flag, and some metal.

Although we make some money.. we primarliy do this band for fun. We have a good following in Boston, and we have become popular in Europe also. We have had offers to tour Europe, but we have not yet done a tour.

We are not that serious.. because we all have kids. We played out 6 times last year. If we are lucky, we practice once a week in my cellar / studio in Danvers. We are 1/2 way to going into a pro studio to record our third cd. We have a record label, Sailors Grave: http://www.sailorsgraverecords.com

Done deal we found a drummer. Sam Jodrey from Toxic Narcotic will be playing drums for us. I can't wait to play out live with this guy because it's the tightest we have ever sounded. He's a great guy and we are excited to have him plying drums for us.
