On the Craigslist > Iowa City > Musicians page, there was this ad:
We just lost our drummer and we need to fill the spot fast! We're based out of San Diego, CA and on the last leg of a four month tour and have shows booked up to July 27th. We're currently stranded near Dayton, Ohio. We need a good drummer over 21, who's not a dick, and has no drug or alcohol problems to learn 10 easy songs within a week. Every day that passes is another show that we have to cancel so it's hard to say when and where our first show together will be. The shows we need you for are mostly on the Central, East Coast. Georgia, the Carolina's, that area. Music sounds like Rancid, Distillers, Adolescents, all the good stuff. Hit us up if you're crazy enough to jump on this train wreck with us.
show contact info
Text, call, whatever works. Here's a link to our music. http://somekindofnightmarepunk.bandcamp.com/
This would be awful! If I were anywhere close to them, I would offer my services. Matthew had a great idea - send each band member to an area music store and watch for anyone buying sticks. Ask a qualifying question - "Have you heard of the Sex Pistols?" - and find a replacement drummer. Of course, if I were buying sticks in Coralville and someone asked me if I wanted to go out on tour until the end of July, the drummer in me would say, "Oh my gosh! Yes!" while the realist in me would say, "Are you kidding?"
I hope they find a drummer soon.
Meanwhile, closer to home, there was this ad:
