Job For A Cowboy has announced the latest addition to the line-up, Jon "The Charn" Rice! Jon has been playing drums for about 7 years. After completing a year at Capital's Conservatory of Music, majoring in Music Business with a focus on Percussion, Jon left to pursue a career in music.

JFAC guitarist, Ravi Bhadriraju had this to say about his new band mate:
"Jon's Badass. His demo was awesome and we felt that after meeting and talking to other drummers that his personality fit best with ours. In addition to an awesome drummer, we needed someone who wants what we want and that is to tour as much as possible and he is down with that. We have no plans to stop and I'm glad we get to do that with the comfort of knowing we brought the right dude with us and that he feels the same."

New drummer, Jon agrees:
"For me it's a dream come true. It's one of those things where you take a chance and send a demo over and then your life is changed. I'm really looking forward to living on the road. I've lived in Pittsburgh forever and starting in a few weeks I will be living the dream and seeing the world."

Job For A Cowboy just recently completed work on their Metal Blade Records debut which will be out in the Spring/Summer of 2007. The band is now gearing up for a month long trek with The Acacia Strain, See You Next Tuesday, Daath and label mates PSYOPUS. The tour starts January 12th in Menomonee Falls, WI.

And yes godlike, my army does still carry elastic bands made from my very own elastic band factories! It seems I have somewhat of a following on this delightful website! Jolly good!

I went to the Job For A Cowboy show in Tempe AZ, and being J.F.A.C's home town, i have to say it was frickin insane!! i was front row and im only 5'4" and weigh only 125lbs....being a girl...i got torn up!!! But besides being almost mutilated by the mosh pits and stage divers...it was amazing and hoping for more shows in the future!

See You Next Tuesday was by far my favorite out of the rest of the bands. :D
