MUSICAL CHAIRS

Rita: Lolita is great at giving advice when it doesn’t have to do with her screwed up life. Lolita: It’s always harder to see the forest before the trees when it’s in your own backyard. Especially when there’s a brick wall outside your window. Rita: I think we’re supposed to be talking about musical chairs. Lolita: But it’s hard to play that game around a park bench when there’s someone covered in newspaper sleeping on it. Rita: Try buying the bench from them next time. Now without any more bull turds, we bring you the news of local musicians doing their dance to arrange their lives in the best situation for success in the music business. ELLIE VEE and JOE WIZDA (x-the Charms) now play in JEDDO STARS. *** TROY SCHOELLER of Horror Business has a new band is called RAZORS IN THE NIGHT. *** THE CELLO CHIX have found their drummer dude in GEORGE NICKSON. *** KRISTINA JOHNSON played her final gig with HO-AG. She’s headed off to school, making her the fourth HO-AG member lost to higher education. *** They’ve been around for a few months but we’ve yet to mention them—the METAL & GLASS ENSEMBLE with our old friend MATT SAMOLIS on flute, and eight other musicians, including two who just play glass. *** KATHY HAZE has taken over the lead singing chores in JADED. *** NATE ROGERS and MIKE MIRABELLA (x-Scamper/Brendan Boogie Band) are launching a new pop project called the Future Everybody. Lolita: Wow, can everyone be in that band? Rita: They’d probably let you shake your maracas if you bring them flowers.
