“I mean it’s really hard to tell,” replies CR drummer, Tommy Gunn, when asked what happens when his singer forgets lyrics, rearranges verses and forgets to come in when he’s supposed to during a song.

     “My initial thought is ‘here we go again.’ I usually start the process by looking to my left to Sonic.” Subsonic, the other half of the rhythm duo, often adjusts and realigns the musical kinks.

     “But with those reflective aviators and now that wireless, lately he’s been too busy rumblin’ cabs to catch eye contact.” Next, Gunn looks to his right to guitar player Extra Chrispy.

     “E.C. can always get the band back on course but when I looked to him the last two
shows, he’s been adjusting his pedals and dialing in his in-ears. I was thinkin’ now is not the time Chrisp.”

     The last hope was in the hands of the other guitar player Slim. “Slim’s no help. He told me when this happens, his secret is to hit a chord and back his volume down out of the mix. Can you believe that? I mean he’s jumping ship when we’re taking on water.” This really leaves CR in a precarious situation. “Where do we go from here? Are we going to do the chorus again, the bridge, let it fall apart…?”
