West Indian Girl

nathan nathan nathan – to be honest with you i really dont know much about nathan. i dont even know his last name until a few days ago. what i do know is that he is tall (6’4″), thin, and a wicked ass keyboard player. as far as nathan’s personality goes, well he is quiet and reserved…the kind of guy that lets his playing do the talking. interestingly, his personality also seems to be laced with a dark quality which i find very comforting. so you ask how we found our tall thin duke…well, lewscious sauntered in to a rehearsal a couple weeks ago with nathan in tow and the rest is history. so far after 5 rehearsals nathan has learned 6 songs – that’s a pretty great pace. the songs have changed a little bit because all the keyboard parts are being interpreted by a different player but that is a natural evolution of the music. just on the basis of hearing the songs after one week of rehearsal i can confidently say the music will not take a turn for the worse. oh contrare, i think our songs will grow and change even more because of nathan’s talent at free form jamming. i also really like his chord choices…he tends to stray away from major stuff which is always a plus in my book. anyway, welcome aboard nathan we are all really glad to have you in our fucked up family.

oh my… nathan van hala, welcome to the family you tall drink of water. i suppose you have already found your nitch as the dark & quiet middle child. i’ve already given him twenty five bonus points for impeccable taste and twenty five extra points for having a dope ass first and last name, plus the ten he had in his pocket for knowing mark lewis and never mentioning it to me a year ago…

weird — i knew nathan before he ever got the new position in west indian girl. one night after our summer tour my friend jenn had a movie party at her house. we drank wine, watched “old boy” and then hit up the jacuzzi after. i remembered meeting this super tall, quiet and witty guy who was dating the rad girl named amanda. fast forward one year later and now we’ve reunited under new circumstances… he’s been playing with lewscious for a minute and now he’s gonna go on tour with us… isn’t that crazy???

this world is too small. too small for my own good…

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again… i’m into it.
