And she says "Wait for calm..."

From our Facebook:

‘I regret to announce that as of last night Mike and Duncan have made the decision to part ways with the band, because of a variety of personal and career related reasons they both felt they weren’t able to meet the level of commitment needed. Scott and I are still great friends with them, and we wish them the best in the future.

Scott and I are now looking for a vocalist and drummer to help write the remainder of our album, record and get back into playing shows when he returns from tour with Voyager in late June.

I also would like to say thank you to any one who has supported us in our first two years as a band, it means the absolute world to us. - Matt’

It’s been a really difficult last four months for us, with myself and Matt wanting to push things a little further than I think Mike and Duncan had ever intended with this band. We never thought that people would be genuinely interested in what we do enough to motivate us beyond playing in Perth, but our plans are to go further now. Thank you to every single person who has supported the band, been to a show, bought a shirt, screamed up the front… I think if Duncan and Mike would want to say anything on behalf of the band, it’d be that. We all genuinely respect and love you guys.

But, we must move on, and for anyone that wants to try out, we are opening our doors.

Here’s to the future.

Scott

Hello!

It’s been a little while since we’ve updated this, so it’s no wonder there’s nothing happening on this here page. So here’s what we’ve been up to and what we’ll be up to in the near future:

• We have two tracks roughed out for this new release we’ve been talking about for 6 months. It’s coming, I promise. These songs are, well… You’ll know we wrote them, but hopefully you’ll also be surprised. Imagine the demo, but faster, with more stuff, and less melody to the point of being atonal. Take that as a fingerpainting of where we’re headed.
• We’ve been flitting about between a few different places to write and rehearse, so the going has been slow. We’re also all individually busy with our own little worlds, but that’s alright. It’s kind of like how you have to do your tax return eventually, but after you’ve muscled through it, smooth sailing awaits.
• We’ve got a couple of shows before the year’s out: The Den on the 19th of this month, November, and at HQ on December 4th. It’s unlikely we’ll be playing again before we record, but you never know. Neither do I.
• The recording this time will be handled entirely by Jay and Matt at Oracle Sound, with us self-producing. Expect 100 tracks of feedback.
• We’ll be back on the east coast in various places as soon as we have the record out. It’ll be a 10”, with some nice packaging and a few colourways, and released sans-label by us once again.

I think that’s about it. There’s no real release date penciled in as we don’t want to shackle ourselves with the writing as we’re all too busy and stressed out with work and life to turn the band into another chore. That’s no fun at all. When we have a better idea, I’ll let you know.

Until then, come and hang out at those shows and throw a chair or something!

Love,
Mike.
