Good day to you all....

Given our convoluted recent history and taking into consideration all
the questions we've been receiving about our status, now seems like a
good time for a State of the Melon address. As we previously
mentioned, our New Year's Eve show in Detroit was the final show with
Travis. We're continuing our search to find a singer that fits the band.
If you know anybody who's great, have 'em send an mp3 to
blindmelonsinger@gmail.com. All future shows, including the tour in
Japan are being put on hold until we find a singer who can help us
move forward with a new record. We are all writing new songs now with
the anticipation of releasing a new album as soon as we can find a
piece to fit our puzzle. We'll let you know when things get
rolling........ThankYaKindly...

that is all.

B. Melon

BEAUTIFUL DOWNGRADE

 
Im very excited about news of a new album. i was really impressed with Travis. And i feel, as a long time listener of your music, that Travis is an excellent vocalist and he even kinda has that Shannon sound to his voice. I hope that your next singer captures that as well. best of luck.... adam

Wow. I was just jamming to some Blind Melon earlier today on my guitar... didn't expect to hear any news from you guys the same day. I wish I could volunteer but I'm SO not worthy! I hope you find someone who sounds as good as Travis did. That man's voice is incredible and it's unfortunate he won't be singing for you anymore. Anyhow, I will definitely come see you again if and when you find another singer.

Best of luck, you've proved capable of rising from the ashes before & I'm positive that you will prove yourselves once again. Next time you stop by the Quad Cities area, you can trust that I'll be there to witness yet another rebirth. Keep on truckin'.

I still think Brad should sing. He's the best. Ill fill in on bass if he doesn't want to do both.

i've been a fan all along and i think maybe you should let sleeping dogs lie...stop trying to replace Shannon and go back to the Unified theory ideas.i love what you all are doing but Blind Melon can never be again. I'm ok with that as a fan and am looking forward to new projects from the remaining members.
Hey, why not call Axl and see about a Lafayette reunion? Good luck and thank you for the music that makes my life better

Hey...just got the new album... I had no idea this was coming out... just happened on it by chance... sounds good so far! As for a new vocalist... why not just have Brad do it? He's got a great voice... and even sounds like Shannon a bit. .. ..Also, I just gotta say this to the band for continuing: Bully for you! Of course Blind Melon with Shannon is the "classic" Melon, but I think he would probably want you to keep going... so, good on ya! ...take care, all.
