chris bauermeister status
hello
i know there has been a lot of confusion about this so i thought I would clear this up straight from the band. chris bauermeister is no longer a member of horace pinker.
he decided to leave the band/not play music anymore about a year a half ago and now he has just moved to germany for 6 months.
in the spring of 2001 hp was getting ready for our first european tour in four years. when it came time to make certain commitments chris decided that his touring
days were over, but that he would still record and play local shows with the band.
greg mytech joined the band in the spring of 2001 to play bass on the european tour. after getting back from europe we played a show at the fireside bowl in chicago
in september with greg on bass instead of chris.
in the fall of 2001 we started working on new songs for the next record. since it had been almost a year since we played with chris (and greg had become a
real member of the band) it just seemed natural for chris to step out completely.
so that is the story. it was a great playing with chris and i think we recorded a really good record together. he is still a good friend (just had a bbq
for him last weekend) and we'll miss hanging out with him.
