Choice bits:
"Belinda
Short felt the need to branch out. She could sing, she could play a few
instruments. She had been in school bands but she wanted more.
So she decided to join a rock band."
"About
a year and a half ago, 23-year-old Shayne Gasaway, bass player and
co-founder of Courting Disaster with drummer Aaron Haltom, was looking
for a lead singer.
"The hard part was
contacting these people who seemed really good on paper or the computer
screen, and you’d meet them and it wouldn’t click," Gasaway says. "We
lucked out on Amir (Zaid, guitarist) — he’s really good. But it took a
few months to find a singer."
Gasaway
said some of the prospective lead singers he met before Short came with
unreasonable demands. One wore a mask (like those worn by masked heavy
metal band Slipknot) throughout the entire interview and wouldn’t
reveal his identity. One asked if he could snort cocaine around the
band and another required gas money to travel to and from practices and
shows.
Finally, they found Short.
"Not
only does she sing, but she has learned to play guitar for us. She’s
been really good. She writes all the lyrics, makes the T-shirts and is
really good overall," Gasaway says."
