"6/08/01 - Regretfully, it is my duty to inform you all that Sunny Day Real Estate has split and 
gone their seperate ways. As a friend, I have promised not to quote any of the band members 
themselves, but I can tell you some of the major factors, as well as what may come next. The 
band was met with a string of bad luck, including troubles with management companies. Another 
major blow came to the band when Arista dropped Time Bomb Recordings, making the European 
tour and advertising for a new album near impossible. As frustrations built, progress on the new 
album became stagnant at times. Not wanting to build personal tensions, the band decided to 
split up indefinitely.

As for the future, Dan Hoerner has at least 2 albums worth of material meant for Sunny Day 
which he intends to pick up on with a new band. Jeremy will most likely begin work on a second 
solo album, while Will may already have a new band lined up. 

In the coming days, look to this website to serve as official rumor control, especially in 
the messageboards I predict.

Keep in mind that this is typical Sunny Day fashion, I wouldn't count them out forever 
(wink wink nudge nudge), but for now, lets enjoy all the music they've given us and wish 
them luck on their future endeavors."

I was at Guitar Center in Kirkland today, and saw what I believe to be a William Goldsmith 
sighting. He came in, looked around, and bought some drum stuff without actually asking the 
price or seeming to care.  I talked to the clerk shortly after he left, and he told me that his 
name was indeed William Goldsmith, and that he also thought it was the SDRE drummer.  I would 
imagine there are not that many William Goldsmiths in Washington state, and few of which 
have that kind of credit level.  I just thought it was an interesting occurence.  Keep up the 
good work Will!
