The Drums
Brooklyn quartet The Drums has become a trio as guitarist Adam Kessler has quit the band. While no offical word for the split has been offered, the band did offer this official statement: “There have been some questions as to recent events and we are sorry to say that Adam has left The Drums. Jonny, Jacob and Connor are devastated and are keeping to themselves and with friends at this time. The band is currently on the road in America. Thank you for all of the support, it means a lot.”

Kessler’s leaving the Drums recalls a similar moment last year, when the xx’s Baria Qureshi quit the future Mercury-winners citing “exhaustion”. Like the xx before them, and New York city cabaret, the Drums have had a meteoric first year – rocketing from our new band of the day feature to an opening slot for Kings of Leon at Hyde Park. The New Yorkers were part of the BBC’s Sound of 2010 and hit number two on the NME’s best bands of 2010. Their self-titled debut album cracked the UK top 20.

There is no hard date when a movie comes out of theaters. Deadpool, for example, kept selling tickets so it held in a lot of first run theaters until the week of its home video release. I read all day Broadway play reviews and movies reviews and I can talk all day about this. There are also what they call ‘second run theaters’. A ‘second run theater’ picks up the the screening rights after first run theaters start dropping it.
