Hello friends,

Well, first things first, Joseph Fiola, a longtime contributor to ...and then nothing, is leaving Winnipeg to go and live in the great metropolis of Montréal. Zef was the original drummer for ...and then nothing back when we started this thing 5 years ago. After leaving the band for a short time due to other commitments, he returned to play the 2007 Summer Elementsircus with us at the St. Norbert Ruins and has been a part of our line-up ever since. Presently, ...and then nothing is recording a 5 song EP in his basement! Not only is Zef engineering the recording he'll also be playing on it. We're thrilled to have a record of his many great contributions to the band and he will be dearly missed. His enthusiasm and love of music is unmatched.

Not only will our band miss him but so will Winnipeg's music scene. Having spawned and contributed to countless bands over the years, Zef left quite an impression on our city's music. I can't deny that HAM broadened my musical horizons when I was but a young lad navigating those highschool minefields. They fucking kicked ass! They still do! His innovative and challenging drum rhythms expanded quite a few musician's musical minds. To play with Zef was a priviledge to be cherished and savoured... even if he did leave you in his dust every once in a while!  

However, Zef won't be leaving without one last rock and roll blow-out! On August 20th at The Pyramid, come see 4 bands Zef' is a part of! HAM (with original member BenWah), ...and then nothing, mersynaesthetik and The Dead Letters will be performing! This is an evening of music not to be missed!

Happy trails man!

Stay tuned for more info on the ...and then nothing recording, coming to a CD player near you. 

Cheers,
Steph
