The Early November to go on Indefinite Hiatus

March 13, 2007 By Jamie Pham 1 Comment

The Early November have announced that they will go on an indefinite hiatus following their headlining tour.

We would like to announce that at end of our upcoming headlining tour, The Early November will be taking an indefinite hiatus.

Throughout the past six years we have released two LP’s, two EP’s, played over one thousand shows, seen six wonderful countries, have met thousands of great people, made life-long friends, and have broken countless amounts of instruments. We have done more than we have ever thought possible for a small rock band out of southern New Jersey. We are very proud and very grateful of every moment we have spent as The Early November.

In case any of you are wondering, this is not a result of anything one can consider negative. No fighting, no one hates each other, no one has a substance abuse problem… none of the typical baggage that is usually carried along with rock bands taking a hiatus. The situation is actually much the opposite. We all love and care for on another tremendously. We’re as close of friends as we have ever been and, as long as the five of us exist, we will continue to be so. This “hiatus” or “break” is just a result of time and life. As we grow older, priorities change. We’ve decided we need to take some time and see that life isn’t all dirty rock clubs, rest stops at 2 am, and long distance phone calls. We have to be where we haven’t been in the past six years; with our friends, family, and loved ones.

We hope this isn’t completely somber news to anyone of you. We want to view it almost in the same way many cultures view the passing of a friend or loved one. Not to mourn but to celebrate their life and memory. In our small way, we’d like to do the same. We invite you to come and send off something that has meant so much to the five of us for so long. We may or may not be coming back. Who knows. But for now, all we can say is “Thank You.” “Thank You,” to everyone who was or has been a part of making our dreams a reality. Most importantly, “Thank You” to every single TEN fan. We hope you guys understand. We truly love all of you.

– Ace, Joe, Jeff, Serg, Bill

Paramore Update

March 12, 2007 By Bryce Jacobson Leave a Comment

In a recent update, Paramore announced the departure of guitarist Hunter Lamb and the name of their new album title being announced tomorrow. You can read the bands message below.

Hey everyone,

First off, we wanted to take the time to apologize to all of the fans in Australia and Japan for the recent cancellation of our spot on the New Found Glory tour and the Japanese Punk Springfest. We feel absolutely terrible for this. We hope you will understand…

The past few months have brought incredible things our way and have also forced us to face some of the hardest times we’ve ever been through as a band… both professionally and personally. At some points, we had
no clue how we would all come through or if we’d even make it far enough to record the album. And even though we made our way through many of those things, we weren’t able to come through the way we had pictured it. We have parted ways with our friend and guitarst for the past year, Hunter Lamb. We wish Hunter the best in all that he does next and in his engagement and marriage. It was a blessing getting to know him on
the road and we were lucky to have him in the band with us. Obviously, we’ve been through more than a
couple member changes and we are sure it’s probably frustrating and confusing to you guys and we aren’t
really sure what more to say. Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way you thought they would.

Right now, we feel really great as a four piece band. But who knows what the future might hold, as we are always full of these types of surprises. Hopefully, these changes will better prepare us for the year(s) to
come.

Thank you for always being supportive and caring about us. We love ya’ll. Stay tuned for a more positive entry… to be posted soon. Contrary to what this post might make you think, we’re actually really excited and hopeful about our future and about the Spring tour with The Almost and This Providence. What we’re most excited about, though, is the release of our sophomore record which we are going to announce the title of tomorrow!

Talk to you all very soon.

Love,
Paramore
