Gary Lenaire, Guy Ritter, Luke Easter & Other Ex-Tourniquet Members Making Music Together?

I didn't care for Gary's latest solo project with all the guest singers. Something with only Gary/Guy/Luke vocals on it would interest me though. I liked the 2050 stuff and Echo Hollow has a couple good songs. They could pound out a good EP.

I'd love to hear more with Marty, that guy is crazy good.

As far as a drummer for a reunion...
Look at the kid that Sepultura found! He was a no-name drummer in Brazil ...

Sorry dude, but Eloy Casagrande was very famous here in Brazil before Sepultura. Since when was only teenage. He appears in one of the most popular TV shows, won many drums competitions (he's a prodigy child in the instrument), play for years to Andre Mattos (former Angra singer) and for other many bands here...

I meant he was a no-name to the rest of the world.

Most people never heard of him before he joined Sepultura.

I am beyond excited to hear this. I am perhaps the greatest Tourniquet fan of all time. Been into them since 1990. I love every album (with the exception of the songs on Intense Live with Les Carleson on vocals, but I digress). I love the Guy-era and the Luke-era. I like most of the Ted solo stuff with the exception of the stoner/droney stuff. I love Luke's solo album. I thought Medusa was good and I like Ripper's vocals to an extent, but it's just not the same knowing he's a hired gun. But again, I digress. I love Gary's solo stuff, especially the songs with Guy and Luke. I cannot wait to hear more of that. I don't know if it could work to have Guy and Luke on the same song, but how cool would that be?

I love the senior dissertations that were written on the first page...

Congratulations on your BA's in Tourniquet.

Imagine Rob Rock fronting Tourniquet. He makes more sense than Ripper. He’s a devoted Christian and phenomenal singer. Plus he has proved with his solo albums that he can go very heavy! Not to mention his experience with the neo-classical metal like Impelliteri. 

He should be the obvious choice (for Ted’s music).

Doesn’t he also live in Florida like Ted? It’s a no-brainer!

So I guess David Husvik is the drummer?  Is that right?

And Erik Mendez is one of the guitar players?

Is there a band name yet? What’s the latest news?

Here's the official line up...

Vocals/Guitars - Gary Lenaire
Vocals - Guy Ritter
Guitars - Anna Sentina (Bass guitar)
Guitars - Erik Mendez
Drums - David Husvik (Extol)


The band name hasn't been released yet (although it has been decided upon)

The album is 80% done.

Very cool news! 

But who is Anna Sentina? Was she in a band before?

I’m surprised Luke is not involved.

I thought he would at least be a guest on the album. It would’ve been like a powerful unification of classic and latter era Tourniquet.

I had a quick chat with Luke Easter, and he said that he's not on the new album (which is a shame, as that would have been awesome to hear Guy and Luke singing with Gary). But it's not all bad news. It looks like Gary and Luke will be doing some music in the future. So, what that does mean is we get even more music! Hurrah!

Oh yeah...

I had seen her on Gary’s website playing that. I just didn’t recall her name.

That’s awesome that Gary will also work with Luke on separate music. But like you said, to hear Guy and Luke on at least one song together would be mind blowing!

Two bands = more music! 
Or three! (If you still like Ted’s Tourniquet)

I really like Luke’s vocals on Vainglorious Hypocrisy.

I hope Mendez is allowed to shred.

if you're planning on being good at an instrument, make it drums.  Guitarists dim a dozen.  A good drummer= high demand.  A great drummer= this is what I charge.

Also a versatile bassist that has solid backing vocals.

Nothing is closer to old Tourniquet than 2050 Darfur.

Finally! 

Pretty cool name.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Michael Sweet did a guest appearance on the Flood album. This is gonna be good!

That hasn't worked for me in all these years of playing!

They have the riff of Gary´s darfur song on their homepage.
 If the rest of the album will sound like that I have high expectations for a follow up to pathogenic ...
 and if Bill Metoyer is producing it ...?...
