Clones at one point were looking for a drummer to complete the lineup.The requirements were standard...must like Punk,Post Punk ,Industrial,Dub etc ...binge drinking , barbecues and complaining about other bands...
We polled far and w i d e - and the response ? ONE APPLICANT who thought they would get tired after one song...
Now Melbourne is full of BANDS...some might say TOO MANY...so why add to the mass of already average bands littering the streets?Why indeed...But we didn't count on the totally apathetic response to our band...maybe we were worse than we thought?Maybe too old?Not EMO/ELECTRO enough?God knows.So PLAN B = buy a Drum Machine.If it's good enough for Big Black then why not?
So the demos we've been flogging to the public were recorded with a 'real drummer' Tribal Thunder/Dotdash.
He's played the tracks more or less like a drum machine anyway.But if you're looking to sleep with the drummer after one of the Clones gigs you're out of luck - unless you're kinky and like that sort of MAN/Machine weird sex.So All Hail the drum machine - won't steal your drink/girlfriend , easy to fit in the taxi...
