Dead Shape Figure has found a new bass player... phhhh.... We actually
didn't even search a new bass player we just called to our old friend
Ere and asked if he has any interest of being a worthless piece of s....
a bass player in DSF and after the call maybe 2h later Ere was in our
rehearsal room learning the new songs and jamming like a mofo.
It's so much easier to deal with an old friend rather than bringing in
a bunch of strangers into the auditions and first explain them how DSF
rolls, then see if they can play anything and finally when the band thinks that this guy is the one they realise
that he is actually a cunt when he drinks over 6 beers and starts to
really annoy everyone and then at some point he will tell the band that how ridiculous is the fact that the band is paying their own plane
tickets and not the label when they are leaving on tour and how his
girlfriend thinks this and that and blaablaablaa...
A little bit of over exaggerating maybe... But from an experience we
though that this is the best idea... And we have really missed Ernos
scence of sarcasm in the rehearsal space. Oh, and for you who dont
know: Erno played guitar in DSF during 2004-2008.
PSYCHE.
Here is Eres statement:
After about two years of being out Dead Shape Figure and almost
totally out of music "business", and, being as replenishing as it was,
it felt damn good to get the call from the figures and being asked to
play bass.
I'm sure that almost everybody, who knows Neissu's talents, whether
they relate to bass-playing or drinking Jaloviina and smoking
cigarettes like a crazy-ass motherfucker, expect at least something
like that from me too.
Well, I'm not here to take Neissu's boots, simply because it's
impossible. I don't think that you can find anyone in this country who
could do that and still be a character that you are willing to keep in
the band.
This is something I'm asked to do and I'm quite eager to see what I'm
able to bring to Dead Shape Figure from behind the bass-guitar.
Anyway, it's so fucking good to be back with this group, but I'm taking
this post slowly, day by day to see what next year brings us.
