| - A Final word. We'd like to thank everyone again for taking part in our dream. God has blessed us greatly. He's blessed me personally with three friends ythat are as close as brothers, and the best year of my life. It's been an incredible, crazy year. In which we have learned a great deal about God, music, girls and friendship. Do not blame Nathan for breaking us up because we wouldn't have wanted to do it with out him. I also had some repressed feeling about wanting to move on. We wish Nathan luck and are very proud of him. I hope that this has been a stepping stone to great musical futures. Thank you. |

Circle productions for signing us (for some reason), and pushing us to get better. Eulie for giving us a chance (even though he often wondered if he had made a mistake). All the former band members John, Rich and Dave. For satying with it for awhile even though we completely sucked back then. Ross for being the best unauthorized videographer a band could have. Richard a great man, and the best roadie a band could have. Also for taking over for Ross, and keeping us happy. Dougy Doug for being another great roadie/videographer. Mike for going to shows, practices, taking pics, and filming. The Jakester (Mr. Amazing) for being a great fan, and for praying for us on wenesday. Meg, Iris, Tiff and Lily the underachevrs girls and great fans. Meg for managing (I guess). Fear of Understanding for giving us a shout out once, and Derek for comming to the last show (treat our boy good). B-Brad for letting us play a bunch of times, and for being a great guy. Boca Raton Community Church, Suncoast Community Church, and South Palm Community Church. I Am Spartacus/Unworthy/No Reply for playing with us, getting us shows plus being great friends. All the bands we played with EverSincEve, U-Turn, Free Refills and Assembly Required. Jeremy for that great farewell tribute, and for doing sound. Ashely for working with us on the October show. The fan club. Youth Pastors Sean Mahan and Jim Cumberford. Weezer and Enterlost for musical inspiration. The Hudson's for support and for liking Check Judy. All the rest of the fans (I think there are some). Thanks for supporting us throught the high and low times and for atleast pretending to like us. All the girls that messed with my head for inspiration for lyrics. Most importantly God for wisdom, strength and musical ability. |

| - "I'd like to clear things up right now. I assure you that Matt, Justin and myself devised no such plan as to kidnap Nathan on the way to a track meet. Having Justin replace him so he can live out his unrealized dreams of being a track star. Keeping Nathan locked in our "secret basement," and repalcing him with a well trained monkey double. Forcing him to play guitar at gun point. Having several monkey snipers scattered throughout the palce where were playing." - Stephen |

04/10/02 |
| - Tonight, as of now, is our last show. We will only be playing Bittersweet. We would have hoped to play a regular show as our last but we were not able to get a date. We hope that all our fans can make it as this is the end. Look for more updates possibly tommorrow or sometime very soon. |

03/08/02 |
| - There have been a couple rumors going around. I don't know where they came from, but I just want to clear up a couple of things. First, we are not touring with The Juliana Theory. I've heard a lot of people say that we were. The only band we have been touring with is No Reply. Second, we ask that we not receive so many e-mails about how sexy the underachevrs are. We know that were sexy and everything, but these e-mails were getting are just taking too much of our time to read. We try our best to reply to every fan but if these sexy e-mails keep coming up then were just not going to be able to reply to everyone. So were sorry for that. - Also I put up a new song in the lyrics page called "You Don't Like Happy Endings" |

And so you know there is a possibilty that were going to be playing a charity show for a missions trip in the near future.

We'll e-mail you back what that something is and post the winning name on the site. So here's your question: What happened to our number one fan Robbie Gould? A. He died, after being shot 16 times in a failed robbery attempt. B. He's living happily and working at a new church. C. He was involved in a major scandal involving a monkey and peanut butter, and now lives in seclusion tortured by his shame D. He had an early retirement and now manages an emu farm in a sleepy midwestern town E. He became a groupie for another sexier rock band if there is such a thing. I mean come on have you seen Nate with out his shirt. |
