well, if you give it a shot for say, two weeks, what harm can come of it? Can the band survive without you for a brief little while?Will inK understand? If these groups are full of the good friends you say there are, then it should already be understood that someone should be allowed to pursue something that might lead to more than they have already. Band leave indie companies all the time when the big contract knocks on their door, and indie companies are more than used to it. People constantly leave jobs for better ones. Give it a try, if it ain't too hot, you can always return to what once was, if these people know what it means to be a friend. ry
