Red Mosquito

so no news until Ohana? This band hates us.

Will it be figured out/leaked before Ohana?

I guess so yeah

Some dude on Reddit heard a rumour its local drummer and peer Mike Musberger (Posies, Fastbacks). Or he is just saying it.

It could be, but seems very unlikely.

And from now one everyone can drop names like this, as if its a fake tracklist for a new album.

Team Perkins.

Must be at least somewhat of a big name otherwise why bother with the grand reveal?

Hard to say. Given its Pearl Jam, it’s more likely some medium level name that you probably don’t know but everyone is suddenly an expert on in the 15 minutes after they announce?

Legit excited to hear this band with a different drummer than MC.

Everyone seems to think it’s going to be another guy roughly Matt’s age, but doesn’t it seem more likely they would recruit somebody younger?

Well, the logic behind this is that it has always seemed to be that the band values the personality fit as much if not more than musical chops. They clearly want someone who is part of the collective and not just the guy who plays drums. The assumption that they’d pick amongst available guys who’ve been through some of those defining experiences is grounded in their reality.

Except they love working with Klinghoffer and Watt now so…

Only the band apparently really knows, but Klinghoffer and Watt are sidemen really, they provide window dressing where the drummer is at the heart of things.

Lol that reminds me of this

That’s really hilarious.

I heard it was going to be Thom Yorke. That’s what a guy said next to the dumpster behind Easy Street Records. Reckoning it’s the start of a frontman coup and there’s a rough plan for an Eagles-level feud and litigious-ly fraught breakup and subsequent documentary because that’s where the Post Pearl-Jam Money Grab (PPJMG™) will be.

That doesn’t roll off the tongue in the same way as PRAMG.

yeah, but he always talk fondly bout Janes, specially when they were playing in Green River.

Replying to a fan’s Instagram question earlier this week about if he (Krusen) was “coming back,” he replied, “no, they have a new drummer already.”

Can we assume he auditioned and didn’t get the job? How else would he know they had a new drummer prior to Stone’s announcement?
