I just read this article abt some guitarist bro who used to be in Neon Indian who 'went solo'/'quit the band.' Here is his song so u can analyze it while u read the 'article'.
I dunno bro... I know I only care abt alt fame, relevancy, and the perks of being buzzworthy... but I woulda stayed in Neon Indian, continuing to feast on the on-the-go pussie that is available to most members of buzzbands.
It seems like the writer 'had an agenda', trying 2 make it seem like Neon Indian is 'totally screwed' without their guitarist.
Neon Indian, for all intents and purposes, has always been an Alan Palomo-helmed project -- at least in the studio. In live settings, however, Palomo's always relied on some help.
Turns out, though, that he's lost a big part of his backing team this week. Neon Indian's flashy guitar player, Ronnie Gierhart, whose muscly licks have gone a long way toward propelling that band's live show, tells DC9 that he has formally left the band, having returned home to Dallas-Fort Worth, both to finish college and to start work on his own musical project.
R u 'excited' abt the new Neon Indian album?
"I guess I wanted to pursue a little bit of my own passion," says Gierhart, who confirms that his departure from Neon Indian comes just as Palomo has started working on that band's newest crop of material. "It wasn't anything weird or anything bad with the band. I just wanted to blaze my own path."
Will this bro 'blaze his own path'?
Do yall think this new buzzband will be 'mad relevant'?
Will Neon Indian 'be nothing' without this guitar bro?
Will Neon Indian's upcoming album 'save 2k11'?
Will Neon Indian's upcoming album be better than Radioheads?
If u were the supporting member of a buzzband without any equity in the business model/creative vision, do you think you would keep 'trucking along and loving buzz life', or would u 'quit' and pursue ur own life/creative vision?
