September 24, 2007 - Monday 
After 7 of the craziest, most wonderful years of my life, 3 albums(1 never released), a thousand shows, and a reality t.v.show, I have decided to take a vacation from Whitestarr. We are all still best friends and almost-lovers and we dont want anybody to think that any turmoil inside the band lead to this...I just feel it is time for a break. I feel like Whitestarr has left it's mark on the fabric of rock n' roll whether people like it or not and I don't want people to panic...WHITESTARR will be back. I do however feel that over the years everything surrounding this band has sadly overshadowed the music I poured my heart and soul into. The party was good...but the music was better. Not the other way around. And if you don't think so you weren't listening. I was never in this to be a rock star...I am a musician and I was born to create and record and play. Thats what I do. Thats what i will still do.
I have been through many, many line ups with this band and I would like to say thanks to all of you who ever played even a tambourine with us...you are all priceless. I would also like to say thanks to all of the die hard fans out there who didnt give a fuck about anything but the music and stuck with us through thick and thin. WHITESTARR will be back!!!! But as a songwriter and a producer I have always been all over the board taking influences from anything and everything that sparks my interest. I have been producing and writing music for 10 years now and as many of you know if I'm not working or playing with the starr I'm in the studio with a ton of different artists. Heres what I got going on...

I am about to start work on MICKEY AVALON's second record and weve already cut a few tracks recently that look like lead off singles. They just shot the video for the second single off the first album, a track I produced and co-wrote with my boy called "Mr. Right." It's gonna be sick!!
check it out at myspace.com/mickeyavalonmusic

I am also finishing up work on the "SHWAYZE" record. It is a record I am truly proud of and I think it's gonna be the soundtrack to a lot of peoples lives. It comes out in the spring of 08!

And SHWAYZE and I will be taking the PEPPER dates that I was going to do with WHITESTARR. Please come out and support this new adventure.

AND go pick up DIRT NASTY and ANDRE LEGACY's albums because they are hip-hop classics. I got a few cuts on each of em!

And...
in between and on the run I will be writing and recording songs for a new album of my own! It will be a little of everything I do musically and should be ready by summer next year and will be on SURETONE RECORDS.
Check out my demos at myspace.com/ciscosam

I LOVE YOU ALL MADLY,
THIS IS NOT THE END BUT A NEW BEGINING!!!'
Cisco

Please dont forget to visit Rainbow(& Beardo), Orbi, Tony Potato and Damone on their pages and please dont let the dream die just because were on vacation. The world needs WHITESTARR...it just doesnt know it yet...well be back!! GO GET FILLITH TILLITH...it is a rock n roll wet dream!!! On to the nest stage of our lives...the good thing about music is it lives on forever!

...and as for THE ROCK LIFE, that was a strange and wonderful experience. Dont you EVER, EVER look at me again. But dont think that all we do is fight...that just makes good t.v. We laugh and love just as hard.

Aww Cisco,
This was beautifully written and we always loved the music too and it is truly truly great music.... I just discovered you guys like around Spring of this past year and was immediatetly drawn into your songs!!! They are funny, beautiful, catchy and you just want to hear them over and over again..... We were soooo fortunate to get to see you play "live" at the Malibu Inn this summer right before you hit the road with ZZ Top and such... and see Shwayze and the Stallionaires and many more great up n coming artists....
Far and away I believe in my heart that Whitestarr is equal in talent and heart to harken back the rocker legends of the past like Aerosmith, AC/DC and others but with a modern twist and take on that ~ Why its not being played all over So Calif radio and throughout the Country is beyond me ...... All your songs are amazing.... They all are my faves!! I am saddened to read this and yet I know you guys will all play together and rock the people again..... Until then..... Big love to you all and you will always have a fan and listener in me!

God bless you guys ~ Your pal always, Miss Lesley :)
and as Charlotte tells Wilbur in that classic children's book:
"Chin up young person"..... ; ) XOX Lesley

Ok, things make a lot more sense now. I'm sad and happy for you...but I understand. I wish you the best. I wish all of the guys from Whitestarr the best. I love the music. Goodluck Cisco in your future plans with Swayze. So, I guess this means you will still be in Seattle in December, just not with Whitestarr?

No way, I love Whitestarr's sound too much for this to be acceptable. :(

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU GUYS CAN BREAK UP RIGHT AFTER RELEASING A CD... HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO PROMOTE IT IF YOU'RE NOT EVEN TOGETHER? GOOD LUCK TO YOU GUYS THOUGH. HOPE TO SEE YOU BACK UP AND RUNNING TOGETHER AGAIN SOON... SO CISCO AND SHWAYZE WILL BE AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN ANAHEIM STILL?

Yes, the world does need Whitestarr...We couldn't always make it to the shows, but the ones we saw( in Santa Barbara and Malibu) have left a lasting impression! It's not just a show, it's like a different adventure everytime, somehow you just had to be there to know what I mean ;-)
Thanks to you guys and good luck with whatever you do. Be back soon!

sometimes, break s are definitely needed.

that's what makes reunion tours so much more raunchy.
