The fight is on over drummer: Rob Shock vs. Rocky Nash - by N.L. Belardes
What’s this? Rob Shock, lead Irish hellion from that new rural rock punk band Flabbergasted has just called out radio jockey Rocky Nash? Looks like there's going to be a rough and tumble over Flabbergasted's drummer who seems to be in a sudden tug of war over his percussion skills. I don't know where the big bruhaha is going to be. Maybe behind a 7-11, maybe in front of the downtown police station. Maybe it will be a drink to the finish, with the last drunk standing getting the big prize. Either way, I'm sure it's going to be all knuckles. No chains and padlocks to the heads here. Here's the scoop:
In an email titled, “I’m calling out Rocky Nash,” Rob states,
My drummer Oscar Gomez is going to a Rocky Nash practice session to try out. Apparently they courted him after our first show. Of course, it's completely up to him if he wanted to go, and I would understand and wish him luck. But before he decides, there's going to be a lot of bargaining, pleading and crying. Because he's a good drummer, and a good drummer is hard to find.

Get your own damn drummer, Rocky Nash
The day after 3 Cent Nickle broke up, I knew one person to turn to to make things right. I started a new project with drummer Oscar Gomez. We've been playing together since last November. Finally, I have a full band in Flabbergasted and we had our first show. Our stuff is good, our sound is good, we have a lot of good feedback.
But before it's all getting to a good start, I find out that Rocky Nash has asked my drummer to be their drummer. I love Rocky, listened to her since she first started on Real Rock 93.1 and now on KRAB. But dammit, Rocky! A good drummer is hard to find, and you ain’t gettin mine that easy. There's gonna be a rumble in Bako tonight, figuratively.
Rob Shock loves you!
