Punk-popsters the Muffs are looking for a new drummer after Roy

McDonald quit the group Monday (Jan. 10), according to singer/guitarist

Kim Shattuck. McDonald, who said he is leaving because of financial

reasons, will play a few more as-yet-unconfirmed shows with the Los Angeles band

before his departure. "He's been my favorite drummer forever — it's

definitely sad for a lot of reasons," Shattuck said. "It's a tall order to ask

for someone as good as Roy, with all that energy." Drummers interested in

auditioning should send tapes to: C/O The Muffs, P.O. Box 291957, Los Angeles,

CA 90029. Shattuck has been working on new material for the follow-up to

Alert Today Alive Tomorrow, released last year.
