JP and JM could definitely get some side gigs going in the meantime. Maybe hit up Derek Sherinian to play keys, he's younger too. Get Mike Portnoy on drums, he's the same age as JP and JM. Then they just need to find someone to sing. Charlie Dominici might be available, they could play some shows in the NYC tri state area. But he probably wouldn't last too long, he's much older than JP and JM. Maybe they could hold auditions for a singer, and in the meantime, write some new music til they find the right guy.
