Here's the thing: they started out friends
+/-'s Chris Deaner Joins Kelly Clarkson's Band!

UPDATE: CHECK OUT OUR INTERVIEW WITH DEANER HERE!

This just in: Chris Deaner of indie-popsters +/- has a new gig hittin' the skins with Kelly Clarkson.

No, not like that! He's drumming for her in concert, but not on her upcoming My December LP. As if Kelly Clarkson could get any cooler after working with Mike Watt!

According to Absolutely Kosher, Deaner's label, Kelly loves the video for +/- cut "Steal the Blueprints", which Deaner directed. However, her involvement in From Justin to Kelly renders all her opinions re: audio-visual media automatically suspect.

Deaner has expressed no plans to leave +/-, who have got a week-and-a-half's worth of European dates lined up in May. Leaving plenty of time for Deaner to rest up before Kelly plays Live Earth on July 7.
