	One More Cog in the Katamari	I'm shocked and devastated. I fell in love with your sound at the Hurricane for a New Years eve bash (I can't remember if it was 03 or 02). My friend Shawn Donnegan told me to check you out. It was the most amazing set I've ever seen! I've been a big fan for a while, & wish you all the best of successes. Peace from the midwest, -Pepe. P.S. Will people still be able to purchase your older LPs? Thank you for the time you've been a part of my life, you definitely shined in a multi-faceted local scene.   Posted by One More Cog in the Katamari on Wednesday, October 08, 2008 - 4:47 PM [Reply to this]

	Bleed for Me Sarah Peterson	My heart broke a little bit at this. Please let me know when your last and final show is. Wherever it is...I'll climb mountains to be there.   Posted by Bleed for Me on Wednesday, October 08, 2008 - 4:48 PM [Reply to this]

	todd todd loveland	I owned a bar in Southeast Kansas. My favorite memories are those of the Feds, Bowling For Soup and Space Cadet. The final night of my ownership, The Feds played. Thanks .

	J!M Jim Beseau	Now I'm bummed...I think I've been around since about 2000 or so. You guys opened for The Burden Brothers (8 Ball days) with Space Cadet and a band with horns at the Gypsy. A Buzz Oven thing with Aiden I think. Hope to see you at Firewater on the 18th...have to do some schedule juggling, but will make it happen. It's been a great run for sure!

	Chicken Fighter	SAD FACE!!! Understand completely but will miss the Fed vibe the feeling u can only get in the crowd of a live FED show. Ur music has made me dance around like a fool drunk off my ass many times to letting inner demons out to the sound of Sliders voice screaming out like he is pulling the demons out himself. The guitar rifts that litterally made u loose control. Its the greatest. Will miss ur shows greatly. One thing is for sure u guys hav gone from just another band stayin at my house to friends to my saving grace in my time of need. Wont ever b able to give back what u hav given me but know I LOVE u guys and if u ever need a hand give me a call for sure! U can disband but the memories,energy and mmmh that good feeling u send out will never b gone... LUV U!! lightn P.S. Best memories so many from the hot tub in corpus to dayna gettn knocked the fuck out with a drum stick thrown into the crowd,white castle so many so many. And obviously the mustashes!!   Posted by Chicken Fighter on Wednesday, October 08, 2008 - 4:56 PM [Reply to this]

	BLAKE	It's sad to hear such a great band is no more! Love your music! My favorite song has always been "Bigfoot Goes to Heaven". We'll see you at Firewater to rock out with ya'll one last time!

	Jordan, the Music Enthusiast!	Wow, this has to be some of the saddest news I've ever heard. I actually have been afraid for awhile I'd see something like this, but I figured it would never happen. :( & my idea for the final set list: all of the "A Touch of Panic" album, Butcher's Block, Paper Doll, No Matter What, Turn Off the Mic, Blaster, My Texas, & Fame.   Posted by Jordan, the Music Enthusiast! on Wednesday, October 08, 2008 - 5:03 PM [Reply to this]

	Loaded Moses	We'd like to take a moment and raise our glasses to The Feds, we've shared the stage with you guys for many years now and with every show we've always known two things.. there'd be some cool cats there to converse with and at the end of the night we'd get our asses rocked. We'd like to thank you guys for reminding everyone what rock and roll is all about! Good luck to all of you!! You guys will be sorely missed!!

	Josephus joe george	are any of you guys moving on to new projects or gonna start more of the 9-5 rountine??? please tell me its new projects so i can still live like a rockstar vicariously through you guys. either way love you guys last show i saw was at firewater, was badass as usual and the fact that you guys let ARLO get up there and jam with yall spur of the moment was awesome.   Posted by Josephus on Wednesday, October 08, 2008 - 5:06 PM [Reply to this]

	Jess Jessica Lee	super bummed to hear this from my boys. you guys have been an amazing and constantly changing facet of my life for years now. i found you and you were my gateway into dallas music, and i now know some of my most dearest friends because of you. i have to think about set list possibilities...but i seriously miss wallfly. seriously. my favorite song was feeling human, and i dont ever recall hearing it live. man i'm gonna miss seeing you guys on stage. ps: it wouldnt be a feds finale without a little panama, would it....just sayin. :)   Posted by Jess on Wednesday, October 08, 2008 - 7:49 PM [Reply to this]

	Here Holy Spain	You guys' deserve so much more than you got. I remember anytime anyone would ask me "So who do you think is going to break out of Dallas next?" I would always answer with "the Fucking FEDS man... have you seen them play??" I know you guys will be modest and say that you appreciate everything that came your way and it just wasn't in the cards or something, and honestly I appreciate that about you guys... BUT ... you guys deserve to be on top of the world. I miss you guys and haven't seen you in too long... I hope I can see a show before its all done. Best of luck in your future musical endeavors, and that means KEEP MAKING MUSIC.... Matt, Jason and Matt... you guys are too bad ass to not keep with something. Dave and Justin, I only got to see you guys play with The Feds a handful of times but what I saw, you guys owned.... keep it up! Man.... I understand but it's totally a downer. Best of luck guys, thanks for the good times, good shows and the good tunes.   Posted by Here Holy Spain on Wednesday, October 08, 2008 - 7:50 PM [Reply to this]

	Just Act Surprised! Renee IJustgotshotInthehead	well i really lucked out then. the last time you came to austin (that i knew of) was when ya'll played on the congress bridge. my old man and i loaded up the bikes in the truck drove around for about 20 mins during the hottest part of the day to find parking until we realized we didn't have the bike chains to lock them up. I wanted from hell to bfast so freaking bad, thankfully he parked at hooters and sat in the car. i paid to go in and walked to you guys (i could hear you playing). so i bought the cd jammed for a minute and went back the car. damn. and that is all i'll ever get again. thanks for all the previous shows tho. i'll still be blaring your music through all my personal speakers and quietly playing your cds at work (even tho i'm not supposed to). the good word will still be passed!   Posted by Just Act Surprised! on Wednesday, October 08, 2008 - 7:53 PM [Reply to this]

	The Wind Dustin Howard	Jesus. I really hope you guys will do one last tulsa show. All the guys I run with and know have taken so much from the Feds, so much inspiration. So many nights sitting at a table at 5am with an empty bottle singing feds' tunes. I have felt more privilaged to share the stage with you guys than you probably know. Wishing you ALL the best.

Many wonderful things will come your way regardless of whether you guys stay together or not. You guys are extremely talented and you all put on a HELL of a show. My husband listens to The Feds CD all the time and will continue to do so. Keep rockin' out and God Bless.

	Rescue Signals (IN STORES NOW!!!)	And the last great Dallas rock band is dead. Send up the white smoke. Well as per fame and fortune - if it makes you feel any better - most "famous" bands don't last as long as you have, and they usually end up leaving with even less. You've all been kind to me since I was in Utica, Upside and even today. As long as I can hear Blaster and Housefire I'll be satisfied. All the best to each and every one of you.

	Adrianna	Wow, this is sad news. I'm sorry it's come to this, but I am so honored to have known and met each of you guys. Old, former, and new FEDS. I can't believe I'm going on know you guys for about 5 years. I'm glad to have known you guys through that bulk from the past 13 years. I am also glad I got to see growth and change in the band, members and musically. It was amazing to hear the transition in your music. I will always hope and pray for the best in each of your future endeavors. Know you guys touched me with your friendship and warm and welcoming personalities. I will cherish all my memories. Continue to Rock On in wherever new paths lead you. As for a final set, some of my favorites that would be nice to hear (that aren't played anymore or I never got to see live at all) are: My Texas Paint the White Stripes Black Winner Sleep 'til Noon Calendar Days Feeling Human It From You to Me LOVE YOU GUYS! ~ Adrianna   Posted by Adrianna on Wednesday, October 08, 2008 - 11:30 PM [Reply to this]

	☆ Tricka loves you ☆ Tricia O'Neill	Insane! My memories of the Feds are very fond and too much to list. I will always hold the tmes I spent w everyone close to my heart. Gary Wray changed my life, Glen was always so sweet and charming, Matt my fav thing about you was you walking into the house with those big black glasses with the big frames taking over your face. Jasons blue room and making me laugh till I almost peed myself- not to mention Ozzy Dave always wearing his little guys shirt and Jon with his screaming matches with GW. Drunkin nights, fights, fights, fights!!!! BBQ's with the little guys, throwing bbq at eachother, Onyx, Everyone pissed off about Onyx, the hillbilly nexy door, the jungle in the backyard, the porno wall, the scary toliet, the do not use sink, clean boys smelling like irish spring, date night, Matt singing at odd moments, practice at the house, the couch on the porch, girls, girls, girls!!!! Fav show, the 2BC, Bowling for Soup and The Feds... The friends I've met with you guys, while hanging with you guys, I still adore. I call some of my fondest years the ones I spent with you boys. My suggestion for the last rock show... bring back all the old members, rock out with all members and of course for Matt to shake his ass. Ashley and I will def. be front row! Thank you for sharing yourself with us all! I love you guys! -Tricia   Posted by ☆ Tricka loves you ☆ on Thursday, October 09, 2008 - 3:33 PM [Reply to this]

	Felisha	WOW...I dont know a lot of the band members anymore but this still makes me sad. I saw my first Feds show in Denton while you guys (Matt, Jason, Bryan and Glen) were opening for Bowling for Soup. I immediately got a crush on Bryan (who doesnt?) and spent many many great times with the Feds when I lived in Dallas. Great memories and your first album is still my favorite. Please let me know when and where the final show will be...I really would like to go.   Posted by Felisha on Thursday, October 09, 2008 - 3:34 PM [Reply to this]

	Phillip	Wow....just wow!!!!! Well, I have been a fan of The Feds since like 1999/2000. Saw you guys for the first time at Elmo's in Tyler. The songs I would like to hear most are all of Touch of Panic cd and I'm going back old school here, but the song would be "Apples". Good luck in whatever paths you guys take!!

	MOVING ATLAS live@ Trees 12/11/09	We'll fellas, it was one hell of a ride!! About 8 and half years ago I witnessed my first Feds experience. It was one I will never forget, one because it was in the Curtain Club, and two it was the local show (97.1 w/ Chaz, the good old days). I even think you guys were the first band of the night, and you were playing material off of "Kick Ball Playa", which caught my attention ( I bought the cd ). I was sure in a crowd of maby 20 people that you guys were gonna blow the hell up. It was by far the most refreshing thing to come out of Dallas in some time, and its a shame somebody didn't truley cash in on such an amazing sound. Anyway, you guys were a huge influence on Moving Atlas and past projects we were in, and we want to thank you for it!!! Take care!!   Posted by MOVING ATLAS live@ Trees 12/11/09 on Thursday, October 09, 2008 - 3:40 PM [Reply to this]

	Mrs. Rev. Lindsay Lindsay King Mears	My initial desire is to chastise the shit out of y'all for throwing in the towel, but 13 years is a long time so I guess I understand. I just feel robbed because though I've been listening to The Feds for six years, I don't feel like I've had long enough. I'll miss y'all terribly, but you'll just have to to go into the pantheon of bands I love that I'll never get to see again. You requested, so here goes... Memories... 1) My favorite Feds memory will always be the drunken elaborate lie I concocted to tell my job so I could leave early the next day to make it to the video premier of "Saturday Girl". There's a longer story, but too long to be funny. In short, they bought it and I got to go and it was awesome. 2) My other EXTREMELY memorable Feds memory is that one time I drove down to San Marcos and waited forever for the show to start, only for during the first song to be cut short and the show ending right then, when the bouncer grabbed Slider in what looked like an intense rock moment headlock, but was actually a "get of my monitors"-bash-the-mic-in-your-mouth-and-break-your-tooth-cause-I'm-a-dick headlock, in which said fray rolled on top of me and my friend. Let's see... Last show song ideas... 1) My Texas, for reals. 2) Sleep Til' Noon 3) Bored Enough To Fight 4) (since you'll have all the old peeps...) Six O'Clock 5) And for the same caveat... the rap with everyone at the end of Kickball Player? Pleaseeeeeeeeee? And as for the very last show? Tulsa? What the shit is that? Can it at least be on Saturday so I have a fighting chance at making it?   Posted by Mrs. Rev. Lindsay on Thursday, October 09, 2008 - 3:44 PM [Reply to this]

	Maria	Umm, wow, this sucks! 1) Don't ever measure your success as musicians by how big you got or how many albums you sold - you and everyone who has been a member at some point have been INCREDIBLE musicians with true music in their hearts and that's really what matters 2) You were the easiest band/DJ/Musical performance I have ever had to promote - you guys sold yourselves - AND I can speak from personal experience that you weren't a bunch of assholes and somehow still pulled off some of the most amazing rock performances I've ever seen in my life. I know a lot of other people feel the same way - and we still selfishly wish you could go playing on forever. 3) myself having a husband who's a musician can understand the difficult balance that being in a band becomes once the years drag on and that big contract doesn't come around, and some of you have families and loved ones to think about and your priorities and ideas do sometimes change - but never stop making music - It's what makes you happy 4) Could you put this off for a little longer?! I've been all swept up with being a stay-at-home Mom that I've totally put off going to shows - and now I think CRAP! could I never see The Feds play again?! tragic tragic news, so I'll try and make it to the last show   Posted by Maria on Thursday, October 09, 2008 - 3:46 PM [Reply to this]

	Ace Of Clubs Paul Gonzalez	Man this sucks. You guys are one of my favorite bands and I listen to you all the time. My favorite Feds moment was last year when you played with BFS in Plano. These kids started fighting and then one of them hit a cop. Slider stopped the show and kinda made fun of the kids. It was funny as hell. I am gonna miss you guys. I will be catching the last few shows for sure now.   Posted by Ace Of Clubs on Thursday, October 09, 2008 - 3:47 PM [Reply to this]
