Well, The Heroin Addicts have officially decided to call it quits. Here's the full story if you're interested.
When we found out that neither Todd nor Josh could go on the tour we booked this summer, Eric and I
pretty much realized that was the end of it. So in hopes of having a lot of fun and meeting some great people
and hopefully making some helpful contacts, we enlisted Danny The Kid to play bass for the tour. The tour ended
up being a blast, and Dan ended up being the perfect addition. So when we got back, instead of asking Todd to rejoin,
we just decided we'd play the rest of the summer with Dan until he goes back to school, and then end the band. As for Josh,
he should be playing a couple of our last shows. The reason we're not continuing on with Josh is because his interest in
the band has waned considerably. He's still our good friend, but we just know we shouldn't be playing in a serious band
with him right now if he can't devote enough energy to it. After this summer, Eric and I will be forming a new band, and will
continue where The Heroin Addicts are leaving off. We'd like to thank everyone who has helped us along the way (you know who
you are), and everyone that's been in and out of the band (Pat, Jason, Todd, Josh, Dan).
