Hey guys, as you may have noticed so many things have been happening in HH world. Most noticeably, you'll notice that Dakota is no longer a part of the band. While some of you may be shocked and upset, we would really like if you took the time to read his words to you, his fans and ours:

Words from Dakota:

"Hello everyone, I just wanted to start by saying this has been one of the greatest times in my life playing music for all of you. I don't regret one bit of time on that stage, or staying out late after shows to take pictures with you. You fans have given me so much support since the beginning, getting to shows two hours early to scream the lyrics at the top of your lungs. I will miss all of you guys and hope that if you see me somewhere, you will not hesitate to stop and say hi. I am glad to say that this is a mutual separation and all of the guys and I are still great friends and will continue to be. I even plan on stopping by shows sometimes and will be more than stoked to talk to you. The reason for this parting is because I have too many responsibilities that weigh against the band. They are keeping me from doing my best and I don't want the other guys to be held back. The rest of Hello Hollywood has very big plans ahead and these plans are just too much for me to fit into my life right now. I hope I haven't let anyone down and I want to thank each and everyone one of you again. Everyone who has supported the band and I, those of you were at our shows, bought and our CD and always had our backs. You guys are what I will miss most about playing.

Thank You,

Dakota Jamison"

We are sad to be parting ways with Dakota, but we hope that you all will continue showing the amazing amount of support you have shown since the beginning. This obviously means that we have an open guitarist slot as well, so if you are interested in the position, please email our manager Tim Parker, at Tim@valormusicgroup.com 

We will be releasing our brand new acoustic EP "Rear View" mid-January and to celebrate, we will be playing a special acoustic show at The Phix on January 9th, with many special guests. The new EP will have three remixed tracks from LNAL and three brand new songs. We will have tickets for January 9th shortly and upon request by Twitter, or you can order on Ticketweb.com. 

If you would like to hear songs off of "Rear View" before January 9th however, you are welcome to join us at three locations of valley Hot Topic stores on Wednesday, December 16th. Check our profile to see when we are at the location nearest you. We will be playing free acoustic sets, and will be selling a compilation disc with three never-before-heard tracks. All the money from these discs will be donated to HRC AZ.

Thank you all for your endless support. We are nothing without you.
