And Introducing (belatedly)..... Lennie!!!

Welcome to the Girl 13 blog again. I’m sorry there hasn’t really been an update for sometime, but that is because gig wise, we’ve not really done anything for a while, concentrating on material as we have been. It has been something of a teething process as discussed last time because some of us are writing completely out of our comfort zones, relearning to use pieces of equipment (like Lennie and his double kick pedal) or learning new techniques (like Vinnie and the squealing harmonic). And yes, while there is some promising new material coming from this, the process is frustratingly slow.

I figured with this instalment of the blog, the best thing that we could do is properly introduce someone who’s new to the band. And that man would be Lennie.

Not much is actually known about him, even from Vince and Mike who knew him before I did. As far as I can tell, he wears a mask whenever he’s performing. I don’t know whether that’s because he’s got some sort of hideous facial disfigurement or whether it’s because it’s just a… thing that he does. We all suspect the latter, but you never know.

Secondly, we know he’s been playing drums for some time now. There are various speculations as to how long that is, but we estimate from the tantalising snippets he keeps dropping us, it’s been since he was at least twelve, so that’s nine years of experience behind the kit.

There’s also some mystery concerning his background. He’s remarkably guarded about his past, but he studied in Nagoya, Japan. Precisely what he studied is unknown, or even how long he was there for, but what we do know is that when he came back he started looking for a band to drum in. He had a couple of projects going, but eventually settled on, but then came to us. The time frame I think is between two to three years. While he was in Japan, we speculate that he learnt both Jiu-Jutsu and Ninjutsu, because he has a detailed knowledge of the arts.

Finally… we don’t even know whether or not Lennie is his real name. So all in all, the most we can say for certain is that Lennie is twenty-one, male, lives just outside of Cardiff and plays drums in Girl 13.

Er.... That's about it really... He's wicked guy, though. Look out for him. It won't be hard to miss him.

See you on the other side,

Jules
