Queens of the Stoneage Seeking Drummer

... and [The] Grunge Report recommends Chamberlin. 
Whilst the prospect is most certainly intriguing, I can't see it happening.

New Jimmy Chamberlin Complex Tracks in the Works???

(Drum Channel, December 2010)

Well, according to this (now tight lipped*) poster on the official and Absolutely Ground-Breaking SP.com messageboard, Mohler and Chamberlin worked on 3 new Complex songs back in November last year... Makes sense as this was the time members of the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex (Jimmy Chamberlin, Billy Mohler and Gannin Arnold) got together to play for the Drum Channel for Gannin's solo record and the 'Art of Drumming'

*sort of ;)

The drumming gets better as the plot thickens...

Netphorian 'legend' Davin met JC at the weekend, this is what Jimmy had to say about the music to come;

"The new stuff, drumming-wise, will far exceed the work on Zeitgeist. 'Even United States?' [Davin] asked. 'Oh yeah' [Jimmy] responded confidently".

However, HU updates their earlier post [reported here] stating; "A source close to Chamberlin says that the tale Jimmy told to our readers [about the Starlight Orchestra] is 'all b.s.'"

MYSTERY PROJECT

"...for those who like real dance music..."

According to fans who attended the aforementioned "'Zildjin on Tour!' events, Chamberlin could be shuffling the skins for the Starlight Orchestra.

Their minimalistic and super retro website is something to behold.

Below a clip of Les Brown's 'Bizet Has His Day' played by, to my knowledge, the only 'Starlight Orchestra' currently operating out of DC;



However, readers over at HU are reported as saying "Chamberlin cited Queen, among other influences, as a reference point for the band’s sound" - which makes it seem highly improbable that the Starlight Orchestra linked above - is the outfit JC is playing with.

But I guess anything is possible with Big Band:

Jimmy Chamberlin Update

Reporting back from the recent "Zildjian On Tour!" appearances, this just in;

"[Jimmy said] he is doing a project with strings and is a big band/swing type thing with a record coming out early next year [2010] and a full tour. [Jimmy Chamberlin] Complex stuff hopefully after that." from, this source, right here
