What's Fair Gets New Drummer

Posted by: Jason Tate (10/29/07)
Asa Dawson, formerly of The Junior Varsity, has joined What's Fair (ex-members of Park) as their new drummer.
Message from the Bandwe've been kind of quiet these past couple of months so i wanted to update everyone on what we've been working on and where we're going...

first of all, we're still working hard to finish up the writing/recording process. our goal is to have a full length album ready as soon as possible.

second, and most exciting, WE HAVE A NEW DRUMMER! asa dawson (formerly of the junior varsity) has agreed to work with us. we feel incredibly lucky to have him aboard.

adding another member brings us one step closer to being able to perform live, so yay!

finally, we really appreciate all of the interest you have taken in our music. so thank you and don't give up on us! we'll have more music up shortly.

looooove,
Jo

Asa is one confusing son of a bitch. Look forward to hearing new What's Fair Material.

The last Springfield band that formed out of two break-ups was The Graduate. Hopefully that's a good sign for these guys.

Though after the Asa/TJV deal, I can't help but be a little bit skeptical.

so, i dont even know who you are. but you get on all the TJV threads and act like you were in the fucking band or something. but im sure youre who just some random kid who feels like they have ownership over tjv because they are local or you know them or some stupid shit.

How is this shady? When did he say he didn't want to play music for awhile? When Andy left his message that said he was touring with The Dear Hunter, did anybody say it was shady? No. Because it's not. Asa loves music. Always have. Always will. Of course he was going to get involved in something else. It was just a matter of time. Of course hes going to do what he loves. But somehow this makes him shaddy. I don't get it.

Get over it dude. Find another band local band you can talk about and act like you know everything about. You posting these fuckings stupid comments on anything to do with TJV is getting old. Seriously.

Incase you were unaware Asa left the band in the cold. He peaced out no warning - to start a new life i believe. One that didnt involve being ina band for a bit. So i agree - i think its a bit shady. I'm still relatively interested in hearing this new band, but i will definitely miss tjv. that band goes back a good few years for me.

Andy i assume made the decision after tjv died out - they even tried a replacement bassist/vocalist for a bit. just wasnt working.

dude, the jv was my 1st show when I was 14, it was their ep release show right after they started, anyone from this area has heard that Asa said he wanted to get his life together and that he wasn't gonna go back to music atleast for a long time, so before bashing me, get the details, you couldve simply asked me before bashing me
