It was a slow start with GRB2011 I was with the JoJo's with a full card making money playing the iNN Rawdon and the Vic .. but in April she fired me over the phone ... so I started seriously with Gary and Plume once or twice a week. Gary bought Mike's old SoundSystem and the combination of my monitors made the sound much better. We did a few shows in the Garage and in August we got a weekend at the Vic ... but there was a problem and we got canned .. still we managed to book into theiNN at Rawdon with Alain Lacaille on drums.... I had a cold and we only drew 27 people bad news ... but we recovered and continued practicing with Plume and Lacaille sometimes twice a week ... things started to gel.
Problem was that Lacaille had other commitments and could only come in from Montreal 2 times a month. In November Robert Forget contacted me to say thet the JoJo's fired him too, and to ask me if I had any work ... I invited him over to the locale and we started a series of twice a week meetings that gave us the rehearsal time we needed to progress at a faster pace .. Some weeks leading up to the Holidays, Gary and I shared 3 drummers @ 4hr sessions. Our choice as Robert for the working drummer was easy seeing how dedicated he was to the project, and he's a reliable as a drummer and a person. We worked 2 years with the other group and always made $$ so we'll be doing more in 2012.
