it's Matt here, I'm here to inform you about some major changes going on around here.
James has decided to quit the band, sensibly he decided that he wanted to put his college studies and other commitments first and the band was taking up too much time and effort. There are no hard feelings between us, we're still the best of friends but i always felt James' hasn't really been into the band as of recently so i think it's best he called it a day. However he won't be just leaving, he's playing one last gig with me as run,WALK! it's at Hampton's Bar in Southampton on September 19Th (Friday) we will be supporting Lonely Ghosts and Will Doyle there are more acts to be confirmed so we'll get back to on that. It'd be great if everyone could come down and show James some love as its his last gig. James and I started this band a couple of years ago as a jam band and i guess it just got a bit too serious for his liking and i wish him all the luck in future with his college & university courses which I'm sure he'll ace!
so what's happening right now then? we'll we're( I'm) not breaking up, James informed a few months back that he didn't wish to continue the band past the end of college. so me, not wanting to stop the band that i have put my life and soul into for the past 2 years i went looking for a drummer to join at the end of college. well he's joining now. His name is Tom Clements, he's the drummer from Feralmare(1st band in our top 8) as well. This man may be half (quarter)the size of James in height but he certainly knows his way around the drum kit, and another plus he's like one of our biggest fans so he's it's gonna work well. Tom's first gig is yet to be confirmed but it will be soon. Tom and I are going to take the band to another level, and will be gigging, recording and releasing stuff as much as possible. Anyway more information on that later. Here's what tom looks like :
