Andrew's Band

My son Andrew (age 17) plays drums. He's in the orchestra, but his real passion is playing in "the band." His group, Jonah Hex, plays Indie/Hardcore VERY LOUDLY. He doesn't really need any help being loud--he can do that all by himself on the drums. But I'd really like to know how many decibels they make playing together. Two guitars, a bass, and the drums, with some vocalizations that may or may not resemble singing.

They've actually got a few numbers that are kind of laid back that I enjoy. It's still not my style, but it might be expecting too much to want acoustic guitars, bass, and congas playing folk music.

The Zits comic strip on Saturday (10/1) was especially funny to me. Check it out here.
