Current mood:  confused

Hey guys, Nick here..


So the time has come..
After 6 years Bela Kiss will be no more..

Before I go into anything I'd like to announce WE ARE playing October 3rd @ THE 620 LOUNGE
&
WE WILL BE PLAYING 1 FINAL SHOW HERE ON LONG ISLAND MOST LIKELY DECEMBER
DETAILS WILL BE POSTED SOON..

The amount I could probably mention in this blog and the people i could thank is ridiculous. But ill try to keep it as simple and real as possible..
First let me explain why we are breaking up...
There comes a time in life when you just know you've been doing something for too long
and its at a point where you feel as if your beating a dead horse. Well thats where we stand as a band..
With some of us wanting to move on and get our careers in gear i just felt as if i couldn't replace the guys in this band. I've done it once to many times
and now is the point where i must raise the white flag..


Through out the span of BK there's been plenty of ups and downs. Mostly i set them to default as ups in my mind. The experiences both good and bad were some of the most memorable things that have ever happened in my as well as the rest of my bands life. Being on the road broke hungry and tired having to drive like 18 hours straight from indiana to louisiana or getting a phone call while in a wyoming walmart and having to rush back to a hotel b.c. the guys has a gun on the bed and is doing meth or dan trying to get a bbq started on a beach in seattle, may have been preeeeeeety shitty at the time but looking back on it, were some of the coolest things i have done in my life ( i could go on and on about tour stories hahah) . Its all been a blur up to this point.. when i can sit back and think of anything and everything who what where when why and seem to have answers to it all, well most at least hahah.
I got the chance to meet some of the best people i know to date due to this band and I cant be more appreciative of it. Not to mention the solid fans we've had from all over the country,
 fuck it, the world that if i had the chance i hug everyone you.
I can go on and on and on and on but I ultimately want to thank YOU our friends, family and fans and bandes we've had the privilege to share the stage with for everything .. Coming to shows
buying us food, buying us drinks, letting us sleep at your house even though your parents grounded you for the next 2 weeks..
buying merch, buying our records,  sending us donations, ordering us dominos online when we were a thousand miles away from you.. the list goes on
I personally want to thank all the current members of bela: 
Tim
 Kyle
Sean
Furey
 this band wouldn't have gone as far as it has without you and
 i would like to thank every single past member of the bk gang:
Ross Munroe
James Morgan
Dean Chutis
Dan Salvaggio
Kyle George
Matt McNally
Steve Sanchez
Scott Hammond
Tom LaSala
Tom Colello
Joe Dimaggio
Rob Corsetti
Mike Abrusci
Alex Lehnies 
And of course our long time merchie/TM/brother, Oscar Perpinan 
he may not think he should be up here but he was always part of us when it mattered)
Did I forget someone?
Mad Heads?
People who tried out for us?

LONG ENOUGH?


With all that said and as some of you may know we just got out of the studio..
We are going to be releasing one final EP in the next month or so entitled "Closure"
As it stands it will be a digital release only Via: HOTFOOT RECORDS
who have been nothing but supportive to us for the past few years so why not put it to rest where it belongs
So be on the lookout and please support us and buy it!!

I could go on and on and on and on about so many things but you get the point..
I am pretty much dried up here

However

I (NICK) AM STARTING A NEW BAND
 IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF THIS
OR TALK MORE ABOUT A BK STORY
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME

INSTANT MESSAGE- i let i go

EMAIL- Nickprainito@gmail.com


and be on the lookout for our other members projects






THANK YOU TO EVERYONE, FOREVER AND ALWAYS
SEE YOU AT OUR LAST SHOWS!!

Thank you so much for everything. The first show I ever went to was your show in this girl Lisa's back yard with The Red Dream and Thieves and Assassins. It was 5 or 6 years ago. You guys played You Mistook Me For A Suicide King and it became my favorite song and got me listening to all the bands I listen to today. It was the first time I've ever had fun like that and I want to thank you guys so much for introducing it to me. I also want to thank Nick personally. I'm in my own band now, we've come quite a long way from where we started, and I put my heart and soul into trying to make that band all I do for the rest of my life. But I swear that life choice wouldn't have crossed my mind the way it did if I didn't see your stage presence at that show in Lisa's back yard. I was so taken aback by how interesting you made it and how into it you were, and it was really my first and best impression of post-hardcore shows. Because of this you're a huge influence in my style of music when writing, and my own personal stage presence. I tried to show my thanks the best I can in this paragraph, but truly words cannot describe how thankful I actually feel inside. Thank you, thank you thank you.

Every band I fall in ..love.. with ends up breaking up or losing members. It's something I'm used to, but the pain is always there, and it escalates. Well, thank you so much for being such awesome people and making really great music. It was great while it lasted! I'm glad that I got to see you in concert at least once!

I just want to say you guys were one of the first local bands that moved an audience. "T-1000" got the place bumpin more than the whole show combined. I have seen you guys like 10000 times and even though I didnt personally know you all, I think you guys are awsome. You all had a great run, and represented Long Island to the fullest. I still own the actual "For Those Who Don't Believe" album. I hope to see you last finale as a band and wish all the members good luck in your journeys.
