Current mood:  touched
A couple weeks ago our guitarist Chris decided to move on to other things.  We understood his position and respect it.  There is no hard feelings toward Chris's desicion.  Chris has been with this band since it's first rehearsal.  He's a lifelong friend and we'll miss having him in the van, on stage and just around in general.  So as your reading this blog...find a glass...raise it...whatever it may be...and let's all have a toast to our brother Chris.  - The man that has melted thousands of faces and left something electric in our guts a many of nights from his trademark tones and unforgettable leads.  To Chris Rocha....an original...a man among men...a trend setter and most importantly..just a nice fellow.  We'll miss you Chris.  - Nathan, Joel, Matt.

:( I wish that the last time I saw him play "Fighter", I had soaked in all the amazingness.



Good luck in life, Chris.

I am sad to hear this, but I'm glad to hear that there are no hard feelings. All the things describing the kind of person Chris is are more than true. All of you guys have left a lasting impression on me, Chris being no exception. I'll miss seeing him with the rest of you, but I wish him the best in whatever it is he's moving on to. I can't wait to see the rest of you in May.






God Bless :)

Nathan, Joel, Matt and especially Chris...





I am so glad that I got to see you guys last month, especially since this announcement!!! It's such a joy to see a band who come together and honor each other in these major 'life decisions', rather than let it tear you all apart... a test of true Christian brothers, who not only show each other, but your large fan base as well, the love of Christ!!! You guys are awesome and I know God will bless you all for all of the sacrifices you have made for Him... Collectively and individually, you are truly a class act... Love to you all, and we hope to see you back in Cali and especially at "the Ave" again, soon... Chris, If you make your way out here, be sure to look us up, we'd love to see you, too!!!
