ADENINE NEEDS A DRUMMER
That’s right folks. It’s official. The shoulder has given out and unfortunately, I will no longer be able to play drums with adenine. To those of you in the know this shouldn’t be much of a shock, and for those who don’t, well here ya go…

About a year and a half ago I was involved in an ATV accident which shattered off the end of my collarbone. After several months and no signs of healing I decided to have a surgery, so I could once again play drums. So they put a metal plate in, in order to give the bone a framework to grow from, think of it as an internal splint.

Well the surgery went well, but I haven’t healed as I should, and as of right now, my drumming career is on hiatus. I have symptoms of nerve damage and chronic pain, and until I can take care of this and focus 100% on playing again, I didn’t want to be a burden and hold Adenine back from all the things they are destined to do. I will be having another surgery soon, hopefully this one will correct the problem.

I wish adenine al the best of luck, and hope they find a drummer who can take them to the next level. I will be focusing on my art and writing until my shoulder is fixed, and anyone interested can keep up with me at www.soulcore.net. For news on the shoulder check out www.soulcore.net/sites/shoulder.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment spent with adenine, I wish them continued success and most of all, I hope they continue pushing the envelope of what is considered modern, intelligent, progressive rock and roll.

To everyone who’s supported adenine and me over the past 3 or 4 years, THANK YOU. You are the reason we are all in this business in the first place. To make music for you to listen to, that WE would want to listen to. Those who know me well know I like to speak in haikus at times, so I will leave you all with this…

In time all things fade,
The strand must continue on
My soulcore weeps not.
