After a long period of uncertainty and turbulence, Final Coil has announced the addition of a permanent drummer to its ranks, welcoming experienced Gee Neale to the band just in time for the official launch of the band's new album, The World We Inherited, the first for new label Sliptrick Records.
The band have issued the following statement welcoming Gee to the Final Coil family: "Today we are delighted to confirm that Gee Neale has taken up permanent residence on the Final Coil drum stool. Gee has a long history on the Leicester scene, having spent ten years backing respected rockers and multi-Metal2TheMasses finalists, Diceratops. His diverse experience also includes stints with Last Man Standing and Pray For Fire, as well as work with local orchestras, making Gee the perfect fit for Final Coil".
Final Coil frontman Phil Stiles went on to explain just why Gee had been offered this permanent position with the band: "Final Coil has not had the happiest history with drummers, but from the first audition, it was clear that Gee would be a good fit for the band, both personally and musically. We don't underestimate the challenge of someone coming in at the point of an album release (and with a substantial back catalogue to learn), but Gee has embraced the task, and we can't wait to hit the road again, after a lengthy absence, airing a mix of new songs and old favourites".
Gee is excited to establish himself in his new role, commenting: "It feels like excellent timing given the ambition of the band matches my own. I've been busy assimilating music for the sets, being respectful of the parts established by previous drummers, whilst finding my own place. I've overhauled my home practice setup as well as the kit to fit with a new sound as I stretch different drum muscles. I'm excited to show what we've been working on, as well as getting involved in the creative process once this promotional cycle has ended".
Fans will get their first chance to see Gee in action when Final Coil hits the stage in London and Leicester for two special album launch shows, where the band will be unveiling new material from its imminent album, The World We Inherited, for the first time.
On Friday, 12 January, Final Coil plays The Black Heart in Camden with support from The Mariana Hollow, Hats Off Gentlemen Its Adequate and The River and the next day, in Duffy's Bar in Leicester with The Medea Project, Knim and Matt Steady.
