Long running Springfield punk band The Timmys (who also won our 2012 end of the year poll for best song and best album) have parted ways with their long time drummer Wes. The Timmys released this statement on their facebook page:

Welp.. the time has come. Our drummer Wes has hit the ol’ dusty trail. He is expecting his 2nd daughter next month and is hanging up his Timmys hat. We thank him kindly for 16 blunderful years and we will love him always. So many memories. Thanks, old friend.

Wes Selinger, ladies and gentlemen! Mr. Wes Selinger.

Along with the departure of Wes, The Timmys will be gaining drummer Gary Swagerty III (Pound For Pound, Obi-Wan Kanblo Mi). Gary was not named the new drummer from The Timmys right away. The band posted updates of drummer tryouts on their facebook page throughout most of last week. There seam to have been plenty of characters who tried out. You can see all of those on The Timmys facebook page right here.
