Yeah, it's true. Society For Rational Dress, made up of Ryan Cassell on guitar/vox, Mike Winslow (also in ISL) on drums, and Tim Grimes on bass, just played their last show EVER last night at The Oasis Pub. I witnessed it, and it was absolutely amazing! One of the best shows I've seen in a LONG time. I hope you all got the free CD at the door... my god its fantastic!!! Filled with mostly newer never before released recordings, the CD includes 11 tracks of absolute essential SFRD songs.
So why the sudden break up? Guitarist/vocalist Ryan Cassell, (whom you may also know from the band Fatal Film), is moving out to California next month, and the band decided it nearly impossible to continue on.
I can honestly say Rational Dress were one of my favorite bands in New London, and I am so bummed that I will never get to see them rock out again. I can only hope maybe again one day...
I had to link this. Seriously, check this out. Click out this link below to check out an 8 minute audio recorded interview with the band by THE DAY reporter, Steve Chupaska. The interview also includes song clips. Steve also wrote a blog about the show last night. The link to this story is also included on this page:
