DOPE Announces New Drummer

February 15, 2007

Chicago/New York City rockers DOPE have issued the following update:

"We are very excited to announce that we have found our new DOPE drummer in Angel. He's a great technical player and he's got a ton of the visual eye candy that has always been a part of DOPE's live show.

"It has been more than a year and a half since Racci took what turned into a permanent leave of absence from the band. Through that time, we've done several tours with fill-in drummers, while beginning to write the new DOPE album and decide on our permanent replacement. Thanks to Dan and Ben for filling in for us.

"We are very happy with Angel's attitude and with what he contributes to our mix. He's young, hungry, and his attitude and work ethic are excellent. Not to mention the fact that he's a great dude and a killer drummer.

"We leave for our upcoming tour in less than 2 weeks, so those of you that haven't seen Angel play in his other bands, will get a chance to see him soon."

DOPE's self-produced 2005 effort "American Apathy" was a sharp return to the band's roots and received rave reviews from both fans and critics alike.
