There were issues between them that completely disrupted the progress of the band. I have waited and waited to post this announcement but with the events of the last few days it is painfully obvious that the drama has only gotten worse and there seems to be no solution in site.

Kevin, Jody and I jammed for an hour or so and then played the Bad Planet Tunes so Jody could get the feel of everything. Played some Zep, Black Sabbath and Metallica and then just kinda free jammed for a bit. Very Cool Jam Today. I forgot my Camera so i took a few shots with my cell phone.

Jody did a great job getting different guitar sounds by changing amps and settings and then blending the tracks together. He is doing a great job recording and mixing and getting progress made each session. He has gave us a few more paths to take with our songs that we did not have before.

It was raining and muggy out and i think none of us felt like recording, so we talked for an hour or so. Jody is going to record the bass tracks after Kevin finishes his guitar and vocal tracks.
