Yeah kids, this is Jonah Nimoy, our new drummer. Here's a little about him from the man himself:
"I'm 19 years old and I'm from west Los Angeles. I've been playing drums and guitar since the age of 7 but drumming has become my main focus. I've been taking lessons from Dave Elitch since 2009 and Gregg Bissonette since 2010. I taught myself at the start by learning my favorite bands songs i.e. Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, The Beatles... I've been playing in bands since I was 12. Later on in '07-'08 I joined the metal band Brutal Force where I grew a lot as a musician. We stormed the Sunset Strip playing The Whisky, The Roxy, etc. We created a large fan base but I needed to move on to other things. Later on, I had the opportunity to audition for some signed bands including Billyboy on Poison playing guitar, and Avenged Sevenfold playing drums.
Recently, I dropped out of Los Angeles Music Academy so I could jump out into the scene. I started out by finding auditions through Craigslist which is where I found Morrownow. I showed up to the audition and Tom said that within seconds of me warming up, he had already decided that I was gonna be the drummer. I auditioned for many different bands but these guys stuck for many reasons. First and foremost, I love the tunes. I'm a big metal head but I also like my alternative, so I figured these guys were perfect, being a hard rock alt band. And lastly, I knew from the start the band members were going to be nothing but chill." -Jonah
Yeah, we're pretty excited to have found him. He's an awesome dude and he's sick on drums. We had a hard time finding drummers that fit with us, but Jonah really meshed well with us instantly. We're already performance ready, and plan to come out with a new EP this year again so keep a look out. This is going to be a big year.
