I know this happens at least once every couple of months these days, but Fairyfloss is pissing me off.

Have we really gotten that shit? How could we go from the bright young sparks that we were to the boring, predictable, over the hill band that we have become? We still make the cut but apparently we are the worst of the bands that make the cut.

I know I don’t really have a band, I know that we have maybe tow or three rehearsals before gigs now, but surly we haven’t gotten that bad. Have we? The songs are still good and we aren’t all over the place as a band or anything.

Fairyfloss, as a concept, is a creative outlet that I am still very interested in. I still think there is a lot that I think it has to offer, but it’s just never working. I can’t find the right people to play with me that fill the three requirements. 1) Be good and dedicated to their instrument and the band. 2) Share the musical vision of Fairyfloss. 3) Not be a knob.

Why is it so hard to find people like this? If I could find these people Fairyfloss would work. But because Fairyfloss isn’t working I am thinking I need to find a completely different creative outlet, something to put my energies to that is worth it. Something that is completely different to Fairyfloss.

There’s Man-Bat, which is great fun but never going anywhere. And the Gigabytes with Ben might work, but we haven’t really tried that yet, so don’t know how that will turn out.

But whatever I do, I think it’s clear. I need to find something else and put Fairyfloss on the back burners for a while.

So treat this like an ad:

James Clark is looking for musicians to form a band with… Not really fussed on style, or what role he plays in the band. He just needs a new outlet.

Anyone interested should let him know.
