Current mood:  excited
Unbelievably fast, might I add, because he was already in the band...
Yeah, so here's the scoop, and we're going to have to attribute all of this to God's amazing and mysterious ways:
So, the story starts back in the Kurios days. There was a time, that you all were completely unaware of, that Chad (drummer of Kurios) was contemplating whether or not he wanted to be in Kurios. During that time, we said (and Chad agreed) that we needed to audition drummers just in case Chad decided to leave. Well, we auditioned 3 drummers. Two of them were definitely good enough and had great auditions and great hearts for Christ, and both of them happened to be from Brazil. Weird, right? Also, one of them (Alex Nunes) had also auditioned against Chad when Keith McGonigle (another former Kurios drummer) was leaving. Well, Chad decided to stay with Kurios, so we had to tell these 2 amazing Brazilian drummers (Alex and Victor Ladoano) that the position was unavailable... but then it gets nuts....
See, you guys may have noticed Alex was one of those drummers who auditioned... but Alex also plays bass, and sings, and plays guitar, and stands about 6'4"... So...Craziness now start to really happen. Jeremy Rochford (former fat kid and former Kurios bassist) had decided that he was leaving Kurios to pursue a calling to write a book and do public speaking about how Jesus changed his life and also helped him lose more weight than I've ever been. I just saw Jeremy yesterday, and he says he hasn't lost any more weight since the last time I saw him, but I think he's lying... ok, enough about Jeremy's ex-weight... Anyway, when Jeremy was leaving, Kurios decided to audition Alex again on bass, and he was so prepared for the audition that I think we could have played a show with him the next day if we had to. Ok... so... Alex can play bass right? And he's good at it too... so...
I talked to Alex about a week ago and said something along the line of "Hey, here's just a crazy thought... but would you consider playing bass if we found a good drummer?"... He's like "Sure man, that'd be cool."... and then I was like... "what about Victor"? He's like "You mean that other guy who auditioned when I did. I saw him on YouTube, he's good".
So I started to wonder... and then Scott called me the next day and said "Hey... what if we called Victor? If he would like to do this, we could move Alex to bass."... I said... "Let me ask Alex." and Alex said "Oh man, I just sold my bass, but I can buy a new one". So I contacted Victor... and he said this: Hey Jai, I guess you're the answer to my prayers.... lol just two days ago i went back to kurios' myspace to see if you guys still had a drummer .... cause i really thought you guys were awesome guys... with the right mind for the music and the ministry. That's when i found out that the band had broken up and right away i thought " i think someone is starting a band" lol wow i'm amazed how this came on a perfect timing. 2 weeks ago i started searching the web to see if i could get in another christian band. I'm on fire for this dude. if you want me to go there next week to jam a little and talk about this im totally good for it. just let me know God bless you Victor Um... OK!... so we now have a bassist. He name is Alex Nunes  . We also have a drummer, his name is Victor Ladoano. Isn't this nuts? One step closer to playing shows and leading you guys in worship.
God Bless guys.
Jai from Checkgauge
