vibe check: weird
n 12 Rods news....is it me or does this update have kind of a weird vibe?
The 12 Rods hiatus is over. It’s been a couple decades since a proper 12 Rods live band, not counting the 12-piece 2015 reunion show. Today Ryan has a new agreement to fulfill… A careful decision was made not to regroup any of the old members and hand select new, more relevant musicians from the Twin Cities. Aside from himself, It’s a whole new group. Fresh blood from the Minneapolis scene that most in the community has probably already heard of. Without further ado, we present to you today’s 12 Rods…Ryan Olcott - Vocals, GuitarLars Oslund - GuitarAdri Mehra - BassEfren Maldonado - KeyboardsAlec Tonjes - Drums

Feels awkward...

especially considering that one of the non-relevant musicians who wasn't "hand selected" was...his brother

The wording indicates nobody else had any say but maybe it’s just badly put?

"Is there anyway you can play drums a little more relevantly?"
― chr1sb3singer, Monday, 26 June 2023 16:14 (ten months ago) link
"Hmm, I like that riff but I wonder...is it relevant?"
"Ugh, I just wish you guys played in a more relevant way!"

hand select reminded me of some farm to table rock band

"Unlike those OTHER bands 12 Rods uses only the choicest, hand-selected, relevant musicians, no pre-mixed, machine sorted musicians here! That's the 12 Rods Guarantee!"
― chr1sb3singer, Monday, 26 June 2023 18:18 (ten months ago) link
"If you find another more relevant album of the freshest, hand-selected musicians made in Hennepen County we will match it! And double it!"

Not sure if that's...relevant

dude's posts made it seem like he was gonna off himself a couple months ago, just let him do what he needs to to stay alive/with an income. who care
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 27 June 2023 18:02 (ten months ago) link
I mean, I wish the best for the guy, but I think there are a few former 12 Rods members that might care.

is this an 'original band all brought something unique' or a 'him and yer granny on bongos' deal
― imago, Tuesday, 27 June 2023 18:19 (ten months ago) link
the original band was distinctive, not a "one dude's vision" band.

new band is hand selected, yeah, but with terrible hands
