Yep, I have left Spike Pile Driver. Just going to be playing in Element. Spike are carrying on and I wish Jake and Scorge all the best, it has been awesome.
Some fun moments-
Del's "Noise vs Electronica" gig
Our gig in Elgin.
The banter between that weegie women and Jake in Drakes
The gigs where our banter touched a nerve and people walked out
The fashioncore trilogy
The song which had vocals by Jake, myself and Thurisaz.
Being one of Jan Ag's fave bands
Me getting drunk at a Moorings gig and shouting abuse at 5 finger discount/everyone.
I left because I have more interest in playing Metal/Ambient/other stuff which doesn't exactly suit Spike. The guys deserve a guitarist who can give 100%. I do have an active interest in Noise/grind, just not at Jake's level.
Kirk left quite a while ago.
Im now just in Element although I might dig out the acoustic for a solo project..should give you something to laugh at Maxi.
A big thanks for your many moons of hard (well, ish) service, Baldy. We'll still be heckling you at E106 gigs, so you're not out of the woods yet, ho ho!
SPD will carry on, in what guise remains to be seen....
