It is with great sadness that I write today's blog. Although basement bands generally require few absolute necessities for existence other than passing knowledge of music, functional equipment and/or intstruments, and a high tolerance for odd smells like cat litter and (hopefully) non-lethal mold, one non-negotiable pre-requisite for any basement band is the presence of an actual basement.
Unfortunately, due to recent backlash from Mother Nature, Penchant for Red (Cataclysmic Paradigm Shift)'s noted Perkasie basement has been rendered unusable due to flooding and abhorrant smells even its dedicated and seasoned members cannot stomach. Sadly, practices have been temporarily suspended, which is particularly devastating as the lead singer has two new songs she's dying to try with the other band members.
Still, not all hope is lost. The basement's owner is working dilligently to restore the practice-site to tolerable conditions and other basements are currently being considered as possible last resorts to save this nacent non-public-performing Bucks County phenomenon.
If you have any suggestions we would love to hear from you. (But please, PLEASE do not insult us by suggesting we move our operation to a garage. We are NOT a garage band and never will be.) Thank you for your support in these trying times and hopefully we will soon be back on our feet, once again producing the prolific music no one listens to.
We love you all!
Penchant (CPS)
!!UPDATE!! One optimistic fan has offered a sparkling gem of encouragement we all can appreciate at some time in our lives: use your pain. Stay tuned for our upcoming power ballad titled "You Failed Me" - an ode to the inadequacies of sump pumps.
