Lorin Coleman, drummer of Portland-based group The Thermals for the last two years, has left the band. Frontman Hutch Harris states on the band\'s MySpace page:\"Our drummer of the past two years, Lorin Coleman, has left The Thermals. The split has been totally amicable, with no hard feelings on either end. Lorin has simply left The Thermals to pursue other endeavors, one of which is playing in the band Andy Combs and the Moth, which I have to say is awesome, you should totally check it out.\"
In the same post, Hutch explains that he and Kathy Harris expect to split drum duties on their next record, with the possibility of making that the regular recording setup from now \'til the future. Finding a replacement drummer for Lorin Coleman isn\'t a high priority:
\"We are not exactly auditioning drummers yet, but if you live in Portland and are just fucking amazing on the drums, feel free to drop us a line. Please don’t expect a speedy response.\"
