Are there any drummers looking for something different from heavy metal. Falloe are on the search for a new drummer. Our current drummer has decided to put his efforts in to being a family man so there is now a spot for a groovy drummer who wants to join a rootsy electric folk band. If you can hold down the groove, got transport and good gear we want you. Just finshed recording a new single and are keen to get this steam train back on track. You can contact us on www.myspace.com/falloe. e-mail: n_tolentino@hotmail.com or Neil: 0408 - 691 371
