Hivesmasher has parted ways with Jason Gibbs & seeks new musicians[views:13237][posts:52]________________________________ [Jun 8,2010 4:58pm - brodown ""] After a great run, Hivesmasher and Jason have decided to part ways. It was an amicable split and there's no hard feelings being harbored by either party. We wish the best of luck both for Gibbs in his next musical endeavor and for the band he is now managing, Dopapod. (It's been fun man, you'll be missed!) Additionally, Justin informed us all that his role in the band must change over the next few months. Since he got married, bought a condo, and is going to start law school in the fall, he will only be available to play local shows on a limited schedule. Said Steele of his new position, "I'm going to rock and roll forever, as the eternal albatross around the neck of Hivesmasher!" We decided as a group it was of primary importance to keep the core of the band together, and as such Justin will continue playing with us when he can and will remain an intregal part of the writing process. This leaves us the need for two people to fill two distinct roles in this band--a full-time member, and a 'live member.' We'd definitely prefer guitar players for both of these roles, but if you're a fucking beast of a bassist, we should talk anyway. For a full time guitarist, first and foremost we're looking for someone that will show up to everything. And we fucking mean every-fucking-thing. We're in this to make something of it, and if you aren't, don't waste our time or yours. Other than dedication, you must have the gear, have the chops to play the tunes, have the right to buy booze legally (or have a REALLY good fake) and have a good attitude. We would certainly welcome and accommodate creative input from a dedicated member, but this is not a major requirement as we've already got a good system worked out. We don't want a revolving door in this band, so if you're interested, be seriously interested in making this YOUR BAND for the long haul. This isn't about finding someone to come along for a ride for a little while, we want another equal member. That all being said, you'll be surrounded by people equally as dedicated and passionate as you. For a live guitarist, we're a bit more flexible. Sometimes we'll need someone to come on the road for a weekend/week/longer, sometimes we'll just need help locally when Justin is too busy pretending to be a lawyer. We would highly prefer to find one person who has a schedule that would allow him to make damn near all of our shows, but if that is not possible we could make other arrangements on a case-by-case basis. If you think you're the right fit for either of these scenarios, please drop us a line at hivesmasher@gmail.com with some mention of a new member in the subject line, or come find us at a show. Please help us out by reposting this! |

| ______________________________ [Jun 10,2010 9:29am - blue ""] Wish I could stretch myself even thinner with bands to do this. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 11,2010 8:30am - t2daeek ""] no worries blue. i don't think you'd like us as people anymore if you had to spend more time with our stupid asses. you'd be too busy to have fun with any of the bands. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 11,2010 8:47am - the_reverend ""] there is only one guitarist that could replace justin, scott hull. just need to get him lifting. |

| _________________________________________________________ [Jun 23,2010 5:10pm - MaskedGuitarist ov Bristol Co. ""] Tyler, would you possibly be willing to carpool up to wherever you guys practice (Boston area, right?) if a certain guitarist made it past the try out phase??.. ;) ;) p.s. - i have my own transportation, it's just, owning a lil 2-door jap 4 banger has its spacial limitations... :-/ PLUS, i'd give you gas $ (and, no, NOT chump change). |
| _____________________________________________________________ [Jun 24,2010 12:46pm - MaskedGuitarist ov Bristol County ""] ...that's assuming Tyler still resides in the general New Bedford/Dartmouth area... whatcha say, huh?? |
| _________________________________ [Aug 25,2010 1:01pm - brodown ""] In related news--Justin decided yesterday that he's going to have to step away from Hivesmasher to concentrate on being a lawyer, lifting weights, and having three cats. We'll certainly miss that roid-rage fuck. Once again, we're not going to have to cancel/miss any shows. Stay tuned for more insanity. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 25,2010 1:09pm - ouchdrummer ""] is this real news? is justin really quits? Or is this another "we caught him doing HGH" moment? |
| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 25,2010 1:16pm - RustyPS should be working ""] ouchdrummer said:is this real news? is justin really quits? Or is this another "we caught him doing HGH" moment?if they caught him doin HGH, why would they kick him out? if anything they should keep him around so he can snap the necks of bad promoters and shitty bands STEELE SMASH!!!!! |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 25,2010 2:06pm - aaron_michael ""] the Smash will be taking the majority of September off from shows to focus on finishing the album and preparing our new guitarists for their debut. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 25,2010 2:22pm - ouchdrummer ""] so he really did quit? Give me a straight answer damnit! |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 25,2010 2:23pm - aaron_michael ""] jah |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 25,2010 2:30pm - MillenialKingdom ""] This is bullshit. Losing original members is queeah bud. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 25,2010 2:32pm - brodown ""] Yeah man, Justin is out for realz. I'm sure we'll have a formal farewell for him. Definitely a bummer, but we're gonna keep on keepin on. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 25,2010 5:34pm - t2daeek ""] come to the worcester show tomorrow and witness our "missing link" phase. |
