We have a keyboard player…welcome Dave!
Hey everyone, we finally ended our search for a keyboardist. Dave Cocozziello has joined the band. He’s also the drummer of Leave By Six. He’s quite good really.
Dave actually played our last show at Church with us and fit in great, so we’re looking forward to writing new material with him, rather than us just adding keyboard parts after the fact while recording.
So at our next show, say hello to Dave.

Here’s the tracklist:
01) Makeshift Container
02) Canary
03) Whenever

Looking for a Keyboard Player
Action Verbs is looking for a keyboard player. We’ve got a posting on craigslist, here it is:
Action Verbs (myspace.com/actionverbs, actionverbsmusic.com) is looking for a keys player to add to our current lineup (drums, bass, 2 guitars, lead and backing vocals).
Backing vocals a major plus.
We are a boston-based band who have been around for almost 3 years now. We have consistent gigs, consistent recording sessions, and consistent practices. We are pretty serious about doing something and things are just beginning to fall into place. We have some nice gigs in the near future and are starting to get some radio play on local stations. We ask that you can commit to twice a week practices and whenever we have gigs (usually 2 or 3 a month depending) and have your own gear. I am not going to bother with influences and say you should just check out the websites listed above. We are all laid back guys in aged 22-30, if you have ego or addiction issues this is not the band for you.
