"...I have decided to leave Kasms, bands are complicated, dynamics and relationships change over the years you spend together in a band, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. I've had a lot of good times in Kasms, it has been great spending time and making music with some of my oldest and dearest friends but the dynamic has changed heavily over the last year and I no longer feel comfortable in my surroundings and have decided to concentrate on my other creative persuits, such as recording bands. I may start making more music at some point but have no idea in what capacity at the moment.
Lot's of love to the rest of the band, I hope Kasms continue to make great music and play great shows. Also, without being too corny, thanks to anyone who came to see us play and bought our records, it was a nice surpise when it turned out people liked the music we were making!"
It does not, however, appear as though this is the end of Kasms. The band lineup remains with Rachel Mary Callaghan, Gemma Fleet, and Scott R Walker. Victoria Smith is to play drums, at least at their Camden Crawl gig. And apparently, she is "shit hot." We look forward to that then!

i love kasms, but rory needs to pick a band! anyways, i wish him luck. he seems talented!
ReplyDeleteKasms are an amazing band, I wish Rory luck although it is a shame he has gone.
ReplyDeleteI hope to hear more from Kasms soon, I have only seen them play a couple of times but they were fantastic. Also it will be interesting to see who the new drummer is and what influence they might have on the second album....
