Hey everybody!

I wanted to let you all know that the members of The Vacant have decided to toss the towel into the ring. We're all busy with different projects (some musical, some personal, some professional...) and it's always been hard to want to decide to end this project.

Personal Updates:

Lorenna can be found with The Xploding Boys

Mark can be found working on his project, Future Platinum Audio

and I can be found working long days at my company... and I might squeeze in some time to work on rRGB

There has been some talk about Mark and I venturing off with a new project.

Tony Schilling of Portland-based Scratch FIlms has sent us a copy of two videos that he created based on live video he filmed last year at a show and live audio recording of the show.

Check em out (mpg 90mb~)

Time to start booking shows for Jan and Feb. :-)

Do to my jetsetting lifestyle causing me to be out of town alot, we're on a little break from playing out. We'll be back in the clubs hopefully early '05. In the meantime, enjoy our October set from The Tonic Lounge on our website. Love, Mark

Hey everyone, Just wanted to let everyone know that we're still alive! We've been taking it easy the past month and a half while we search for some new musicians. We're hoping to find at least one multi-instrumentalist who can play strings, maybe some guitar, etc. We're going to be auditioning some people over the next week and hope to find the right people soon. We are hoping to schedule some shows in the upcoming months, so keep in touch. Cheers, Robby The Vacant

Hey everyone! We're still working on the mixing and finishing touches of our debut album. We now believe it will be ready for shipping sometime in September. We have also just relocated to a new rehearsal space, which is much bigger than our previous 12x10' room. (got a little loud in there) New songs are being worked on and we hope to start playing again within the next month. You can listen to many more of our songs on our website. Also, don't forget to post a note in our guestbook on our site. ;-) Love, Robby
