Hello ilia fans, this is Seth Holloway, ilia's manager.

As most of you all know Lindsey Pierce (now Lindsey Armstrong) guitar player and co-founder of the band left the band back in April because God had put an amazing passion on her heart to minister to people in need. Her new husband Jay Armstrong and her are currently pursuing what God has called them to do and we are very proud of them and they are always in our prayers.

We are starting to look for a new guitar player.. If you are interested in auditioning to be the new guitar player we will be posting the qualification in a few days so check back then. Auditions will be held sometime in late July or early August.

With the current situation we are sorry to have to do this but the girls will not be playing Ichthus, Cornerstone, Lifest, Soulfest or Kingdom Bound this summer and won't be touring this summer or much this fall.

Now onto the big surprise, the reason they won't be touring much in the fall is because (drum roll please) they are going to be writing and recording some new songs. Yes that is right for everyone that asked when new material will be coming out here it is. We are not sure when the new stuff will be coming (hopefully later this year or at the first of next year) and we are not sure if it will be a full length album or a new ep. They will be recording sometime in the fall with a great producer by the name of Ethan Luck, you might know him as the drummer for Relient K or the guitar player for Demon Hunter. So keep checking back.

Thanks once again to everyone for all your continued prayers and support. If you have any prayer request or need to talk to the girls about anything you can always write them on the myspace here or on facebook.

Thanks,

Seth
