It’s time I confirmed what many people have suspected, that Omar Khalid, the drummer and founding member of Aunty Disco Project has left the band.
Usually when somebody leaves the band there are rumors of an acrimonious split, whispers of fights and clashing egos. Then each party issues some sort of statement with the usual ‘creative differences’ being listed and how they wish each other well etc. I want to make clear that this truly wasn’t the case with OK leaving.
There were several reasons contributing, but the most prevalent one is that OK’s life plans simply couldn’t accommodate being part of a band full-time. He won’t be in Karachi much longer and he simply couldn’t carry on with us the way we were.
