bo'n ruffians
last week, on no sleep after a gig, the Born Ruffians did a shoot a bit for the British show Skins. just two days before, a screen printer had decided he couldn't any longer supply us with a printed drum skin, much to the panic of everyone involved. long story short - we had a vinyl sticker made on a rush order, and thought things were all taken care of.
i got a call during the afternoon of the shoot informing me that the drum skin was black, which didn't quite allow the sticker we had made to 'pop' - black on black can be quite a nice, subtle choice, but it isn't a colour scheme often used for name recognition. a quick trip to guitar center, and a cab ride later, and we had an almost assembled skin:

after this picture was taken, we did manage to fix the skin, and we been assured by the director and producer that we would get a nice shot of the drum in the show. we'll remain hopeful, but it wouldn't be all that surprising to find this effort doesn't make the final cut.
such is the glory of the music business.
