Antagonist news and notes

Whittier, California metal outfit Antagonist (Prosthetic Records) has issued a band update. Here's the scoop from Carlos Garcia (guitar/vocals): "As you probably already know, we're on the hunt for a new bassist! Lots of people have shown interest (thanks guys!) but we still haven't been able to pinpoint someone just right for the position. It takes a lot more than just musical ability to be in a band, it takes personality, it takes drive, and most importantly, it takes dedication. Having the right mix of people in a band is so vital. Why do you think bands break up all the time? It's not easy to find the right chemistry between four people. In fact, it's the hardest thing to find. So while we'd like to find someone as soon as possible, we're not going to rush the process, and instead we're going to wait it out until we find someone just right, in all aspects. So, if you're one of the people who is still interested in playing bass with Antagonist, please read our [Myspace] blog about the bassist search first, and then send us a message! "In other news, we've been wanting to record some cover tunes for a very long time (for fun, of course), and we're finally starting to narrow down which ones we want to do. Right now, we have two in mind and we're also possibly going to demo a brand new song! Yes, you read correctly, a brand new song from Antagonist. These songs probably won't be on any recording, they'll be exclusively on Myspace, so be on the lookout for that. We're shooting for mid/late August to get these online. "We also plan on doing a handful of shows out of town in late August, probably all within California, but maybe also Arizona, and as far as New Mexico. Dates to be announced soon! "We've written a bunch of new shit and have lots of new ideas floating around, so please keep checking back, please tell your friends to add us, and please show us your love! We don't do this for the money (because we obviously don't make any), we do this for the love of music and for all the boys and girls that appreciate what we do! So show your appreciation! Whether it's a comment, a message, a cool picture sporting your antagonist gear, or a picture of antagonist written on your ass cheeks, we love hearing from you! So once again, help us out as much as you can, post our banners everywhere, put our songs on your page, buy the album, buy the merch, or even just tell a few of your friends how rad we are in every way. It means the world to us!"
