GIANT DRAG MEMBER QUITS

Cult rockers GIANT DRAG are in disarray after drummer and keyboard player MICAH CALABRESE quit the band. Calabrese left after the US group played its last concert on 9 November (06) in Paris, France. However, frontwoman ANNIE HARDY has vowed to continue recording and performing under the band's name - and reveals Calabrese has been working as a freelance computer programmer since he left. She says, "Micah quit the band about a week after we came back from France. "Micah never wanted to be in a band in the first place. He likes playing music and he likes recording but he never wanted to do this as a career. "He had a real job before and he was making money. He had a house and everything. "But when he joined the band full time it was like he didn't have a house anymore, he doesn't have a nice car anymore. "I'd imagine that if you weren't passionate about doing this then it makes dealing with the other bullshit that comes along with it, like touring and f**king being in the music industry and not making any money hard to put up with. Not to mention being in a band with me, which is struggle enough!"
