Friday’s Leftovers: More Exodus From Particle

Optimism reigned among the Particle People when the band convinced Scott Metzger and Ben Combe to come aboard in March 2006. But continued mediocrity trumped this renewed optimism, and Metzger wisely jumped ship shortly thereafter. Now comes word that Combe is leaving the band as well, and judging from his thinly veiled parting shots, it doesn’t appear to be altogether amicable. Particle’s lost three guitarists in less than two years, so the time may have finally come for Steve Molitz to permanently hitch his wagon to Phil Lesh’s star.

And if you’re still bored on this gloomy Friday, check out this video that shows off how The Onion nails it again. Oh, it’s not even remotely safe for work.

  1. Great to hear about Phil’s new band…this line made me smile:

    “Greene, a touring singer-songwriter, seems to be the perfect match for Lesh, grounding the elder’s spacier moments with his taste for melodic grit and tight songcraft.”

    Was on the fence due to ridiclous ticket prices, but I’ll def catch a show in NYC now.

  2. Phil Lesh and Friends is a great combination of
    talented people. Jackie Green’s current CD American Myth
    is fantastic. Different style than what he has been doing.
    A great addition to Lesh’s Friends.
