Aborted bassist leaves band

Monday, May 14, 2012 1:43 PM PT


Aborted bass player J.B. Van Der Wal has reportedly quit the band. Neither an announcement nor an explanation has been made public thus far, and since the band is currently on tour with Origin et al, they are apparently performing sans bassist.

Wait... Belgian national walks out during the Origin tour? Are you inferring that he left the venue in Chicago/Seattle/New Orleans/whatever and is just walking the streets? Did he fly back home? Did he get a job a Home Depot? So many unanswered questions...

This makes me look like a dick who leaves mid tour though haha. I left a year ago, this indeed was a (pretty fucking good i must say, judging the video's) fill in, joshua nealle, who had to leave for personal reasons i believe. No biggy, just a year to late with the name haha

Jb van der wal hasn't been there for a year, they used session bassplayers till now, the guy they got during the origin tour went home due to a family urgency a week ago mid tour

Actually they held a contest to find a touring bassist for the U.S. and for Europe for their current album cycle, so whoever's with them now is a fill-in.
