\"We are looking for someone who is 100% willing to relocate to Rochester, NY, is 100% dedicated to the band and touring, 100% has two arms, is fast, innovative, and intense on the drums, and works hard and is dedicated; expect to practice anywhere from 4 to 12 hours a day.\"

If you are interested in auditioning, you can send a VHS or DVD of your playing to Christopher Arp. Address: 3251 Dayspring Ridge, Walworth, NY 14568, USA. Include your name, phone number, address, and e-mail address with the video.

You being able to play a Psyopus song or two on the video is a plus, but not a requirement, according to PsyOpus. If you have any questions, you can send an e-mail the band.

In July 2005 PsyOpus had to drop off the tour they were doing with Ion Dissonance, Swarm of the Lotus and Strong Intention, due to a rather bizarre reason: their ex-drummer was missing in action. The band stated:

\"This was to be his last tour with the band but, he somehow was nowhere to be found when the call to duty was demanded of him. If anyone sees him… make sure he is okay. We apologize a million times over to all who are let down by this news. We are equally as let down as anyone. We were anticipating this tour greatly.\"

The band continued playing live utilizing the services of original drummer Greg Herman (photo). In between these shows, PsyOpus are busy writing for the next album with new drummer Corey Barnes (ex-Paria).
