Parts & Labor needs a new drummer + record stream
We need a new drummer
After nearly three years of bashing, we're sad to report that our drummer, Christopher Weingarten, is leaving Parts & Labor. Chris is moving on to more rigorously pursue his work as a music editor and writer. He's the editor in chief at PaperThinWalls.com, and will soon be penning a book about Public Enemy's "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" for the esteemed Thirty Three And A Third book series.PreviouslyBut so without further ado, we're searching for a new drummer. We're looking for someone who can tour a minimum of four months out of the year, starting this fall with trips in the UK/Europe as well as the U.S. They'll have some difficult shoes to fill. Tracks can be heard on our site and myspace, and the new record is streaming at virb.com/partsandlabor. Email us at partsandlabordrummer@gmail.com.
* more Parts & Labor

I'm actually leaving the band because I'm recovering from an injury incurred by a giant neon snake.

Will there be any more shows with Chris in NYC? At least one more, please?!
Posted by db | July 23, 2007 10:25 AM
From what I understand, another NYC show with me is possible but doubtful.
Also, Dave from Brooklyn Vegan and I have similar P.O. Boxes. So I currently have three packages with his name on it. No way he's getting them now, since he X'ed me out of that photo like a serial killer would ;)

But those packages include his protein!

That sucks, they really stepped up with their last album.

Yes please! I missed the last two shows because they were on the same bill as current buzz bands and the bandwagon hipster contigent was out in full force. I tried to get into their last NYC, but it was sold out due to Matt & Kim. Before that was Dan Deacon.
Please P&L, please NYC again without a buzz band!

P.S. If you really are Christopher (I doubt it), and do another NYC show, please don't play on Labor Day weekend. :)

Why would be hard to believe someone who is leaving his band to run a music blog reads BV? :D
P&L have a big show booked at the end of Sept, so I doubt they'll be doing anything on Labor Day weekend.

They should follow Isaac Brock's example and ask Mike Joyce to join their band.

P and L opening for Les Savy Fav at Bowery record release show 9/22
Posted by pdiddy | July 23, 2007 5:06 PM
Are P+L engaging a bright green snake to replace Chris? I might go see that. Or a pug. If Chris has to leave, then let him be replaced with a pug.

christopher weingarten is an awesome drummer, i could only hope for at least one more show!
please, Whiney?

I’m really diggin’ the new P&L record, but hopefully the new drummer leaves the double kick pedal and marching snare back in the mid-‘90s.

Is Christopher going to play the September 22 show? Purdy please?
