Hey all Okay Thursday supporters :)
Sarah here. So the time has come to say goodbye! As many of you know, the remainder of Okay Thursday makes up a powerful force also known as The Motion Sick. They’re actually just returning from a tour on which I’m sure they kicked some serious asses and took some lovely names. For almost a year now, they’ve juggled two bands with more grace than I thought humanly possible. However, it’s time for them to concentrate their efforts on The Motion Sick, so Okay Thursday is going to turn off the lights and call it a night.
But along with thanking you all for coming out to shows and supporting the popping Okay Thursday has been doing for over two years now, I wanted to personally thank everyone who has ever been a part of Okay Thursday: Brad, Rebecca, Clint, Mike, Matt, Travis, and Nikki.
Thank you all for developing, spreading the word of, and, above all, playing in this band with me. It’s been one of the most important things to me in my 25 years so far. I love it right down to the cartoon logo Rebecca designed that, despite any issues we ever dealt with, always made me smile. Whenever anyone was dancing or singing along, it made all the work worth it.
I am absolutely going to miss it, but certainly this does not mean the end of our music-making. There are (far too!) many projects in which the aforementioned multi-talented group of characters participate in various capacities, so please go out and support them:

Okay Thursday is playing our last show on April 3rd, 2008 at O’Brien’s in Allston, which is also the first show of a month-long residency hosted by the ever-popular, ever-spastic
Harris (who, you might remember, played the first night of our Abbey residency on an insufferably hot night in August 2006.) Here’s the lineup:

Talk Modern
The Woodrow Wilsons
We’re psyched to be sharing the stage with them once again, along with these two other fantastic Boston bands.
Love to all,
Sarah
