Apr 2009 - BROKEN DRUMMER - Due to an unfortunate accident involving a tree, a large amount of beer and an argument about who had the best sticks. Our drummer CJ ended up worse off after falling and breaking his collar bone. Apart from the fact that CJ put a very brave face on and carried on with the gig at The Swan in Brentwood, we unfortunately had to cancel our slot at the Dukes Head in Walthamstow on Good Friday. CJ has announced that he will be taking a few weeks off playing drums to let his collar and pride heal. He also mentioned that he will be seeking revenge by using the tree to play his drums at the next gig once he has recovered. Until CJ is back Under Ether will be playing with some dep drummers to keep the drums beating.
