while waiting for the coffee maker to do its job, nickster2000 wandered over to the university notice board, where this musician-wanted ad caught his eye. he’s not a drummer, but says he considered ringing them up anyway. “i really need to know what was so bad about graham.”

Graham thought his style of air drumming would be much appreciated by the members of Katlama, but apparently it was not meant to be. If only his regular gigging kit had not been at the cleaners the fateful day of the first audition.

Graham told them their band name sucked.

What?
Their MySpace page shows that each member has a nickname: ‘Kat’, ‘Pink’, ‘Rolling’, etc.
Graham didn’t like his nickname: ‘The Cracker’

Authorities said… best leave it… unsolved.

downloads or free cd for serious candidates…because that’s the only way you’ll willingly listen to our music.
many styles will be played…except for the style Graham likes. fuck that guy.

Awww poor Graham. His MC Hammer moves must not have impressed the band.

I know a one-armed drummer and he’s really good. His name’s not Graham, though.

After suffering mild rejection in the coffee shop, Graham noticed the ultimate humulation on his way out, his former band had bannished him from their applicants list. Completely disheartened, he decided to accept the position as lead drummer with the little known foreign band Chicago, just to see how it went.

Graham will never rock this town again. Such a waste of talent.

As the ancient Incan priests gathered around the idol, in hopes of improving this year’s maize harvest, they heard an unearthly voice- the idol was speaking to them:
Katlama - - - Require - - - Drummer!!
“Hmmm,” said the high priest (who didn’t speak English).

After listening to Katlama’s playlist on MySpace I can confidently say that no matter how bad Graham was on the skins he was the least of this bands worries.
If you can imagine post Natalie Merchant 10,000 Maniacs covering Lorretta Lynn that’s what Katlama sounds like.
Now if you’ll excuse me I need to stab my ear drums with paper clips.

It looks as though Graham started to rip off one of the phone number tags… and then he saw that he wasn’t able to re-apply for the position.
Head hung in shame, he walks back to his dorm and decides drumming isn’t for him… what he really wants to do is dance!

Maybe when Graham brought in his ‘Rock Band’ drum set and asked where the red, blue , green and yellow lights were to follow along they realized that he may not be what they’re looking for.

Relations in the band degenerated quickly after he put his foot down. Graham had enough of paying for all the drugs.

My mother might have liked this band.
Graham should be thanking his lucky stars he didn’t get to audition.

Their MySpace page shows they use rotating cast of drum- mers, saxophonists, flautists…
What the hell is a flautist?

Graham was a good drummer but his bluegrass-inspired vibe didn’t fit with Katlama’s Susan Vega-meets-The Cure theme.
Graham is now working with Kid Rock’s former DJ on a country album. It was rough going at first but Graham gets first billing in the act. Still I’d have gone with something a little less cheeky than Graham Kracker.
