Horse The Band will require the services of a new drummer as soon as this leg of their Earth Tour ends early in June. \'Rental drummer\' Jon Karel from the Number 12 Looks Like You needs to go back to perform duties for his real band. So as soon as the band gets back from their current world tour, they will start auditioning new drummers.\"Obviously you have to be a pretty special character to join this band. We\'d prefer someone familiar with the Horse The Band lore, but also normal. You have to have touring experience in really horrible conditions (picking up skin diseases from sleeping on floors, being rejected by ugly chicks, not sleeping for 60 hours or more), not think you are cool, not be way into sitting on your laptop in the \"green room\", and be a really good drummer. We want someone who can play all sorts of styles really well and prefer someone who keeps it simple sounding while musically compelling and interesting and energetic. \"
On February 17th, 2008 it was announced that Chris Prophet had left the band and that Jon Karel would be filling in on drums during the tour.
Horse The Band will be heading to South America and Africa in the fall and will do a full US/Canada tour in the summer.
