Current mood:  sad
So after 5 years and countless shows together, we're sad to announce that our esteemed bass extraordinaire Brandon Cory Desormeaux will be leaving the band in January.  This decision was entirely his, and while we're sad to see him go, we wish him the best of luck.  He's been our brother for 5 years and that will never change.  Brandon will be moving to Raleigh, NC and joining the real world (what's that like?).  All of this being said, Brandon will be playing one last show with the band Friday, January 8th in Rochester at The German House.  This show is ALL AGES and we ask that anyone and everyone who has supported our band over the years come out and wish Brandon luck before he moves on with life.  We'll also be having an after party right at the venue, and everyone is invited.  We want to make sure everyone has a chance to say goodbye!

Friday, January 8th 2010
The German House
315 Gregory St
Rochester, NY 14620
Doors @ 6 PM
Tickets $10 Advance/$12 Doors
ALL AGES

Tickets are available directly from us for this show, all you need to do is send us a message and we'll bring them to your work/school/house/etc.  Word of warning, there's a good chance this one will sell out, so PLEASE get your tickets in advance! Do it sooner rather than later.

So all of that being said, we will be needing a touring bassist for this Spring.  If you think you're our guy, feel free to shoot us a message.

That's the news for now! Tickets are on sale, you know where to find us.  Talk to you guys soon!

-Dan, Brandon, Paul, and Joey

It's about 3 AM CST, and I'm sitting on a couch in Springfield, IL.  We played our last show of the tour tonight and we'll be heading home in the morning.  I can honestly say that the last 3 weeks have been among the most memorable of my life.  Thank you so much to The Graduate for bringing us out on tour with them, and thanks to Linden, PM Today, and The Morning Of for hanging out with us as well.  We hit a lot of Midwest markets where we hadn't been in awhile, so it was great to see some of you again, and it was awesome making new friends as well.  Off to bed for now.  Maybe we'll piece together a little tour video for Youtube or something.  Joey brought a camera with him for the first time. 

For now, we're going to head home and enjoy Thanksgiving with our families. We suggest you do the same! Happy Thanksgiving!

Love,

Dan, Paul, Joey, and Brandon

Hey guys! We're out on the road right now with The Graduate and The Morning Of.  The shows have been great so far, and the tour will be coming through Rochester Friday night at Waterstreet! Since we aren't home...we can't deliver tickets.  You can pick them up at any Ticketmaster outlet (ask for tickets to see The Graduate, not us), online (link below), or just get tickets at the door.

Hope to see everyone there! It'll be our only day home until Thanksgiving, so it would be great to see some familiar faces! Shoot us a message if you have any questions!
