Holiday Parade Member Changes

March 4, 2008 By Bryce Jacobson Leave a Comment

Holiday Parade announced some member changes and upcoming tour plans in a recent update. Get all the info below.

first and foremostest
the response we’ve been getting from our acoustic EP, “To You. From Us.” has greatly exceeded anything that we would have expected. the amount of you that have pre-ordered it has really surprised and shocked us and we are forever grateful for that support.

On our Myspace page, we will be removing our acoustic version of “Never Enough” on Wednesday and replacing it with another acoustic song… so stream it while you can. All 5 songs from our new acoustic EP, will be streaming on Absolutepunk.net starting on March 24th, we look really forward to that.

Also, I figured it was time to let you guys know that in December/January we lost two members, our bassist Flowe and our drummer Mickey. There is absolutely no drama or bad blood, just different priorities and visions on all ends… we truly love those guys and always will. Flowe is currently working part time at one of the bigger Atlanta churches, and Mickey is currently back ! in LA ! and has recently started a graphic design company called Shark vs. Robot. If any of you need graphic design work (myspace pages, band tee shirt designs, posters, flyers, ect), please please please HIT UP our favorite dinosaur loving drummer. Also, these member changes WILL NOT effect ANY of our upcoming tour dates in any way shape or form…

…we’ve been lucky enough to have our friends Joel and Kenny fill in, from the defunct Atlanta-area band, Celeste, and our friend JJ Killa (Jason Andrews) was kind enough to play drums for us on the Forever The Sickest Kids / Powerspace tour… it was an absolute blast and you can expect to see Kenny and Joel around for a while. JJ Killa produced our acoustic EP…if you are in a band a need someone to work the dials, JJ is the man to get in CONTACT WITH

Look for a new acoustic version of one of our songs on our Myspace page on Wednesday! We won’t tell you which one, you’ll have to come see for yourself. Also, be sure to pre-order the EP RIGHT HERE, with some really cheap packages! holla koalaaaa

Upcoming:
*Posting a new acoustic version of one of our songs every Wednesday on Myspace.com.
*AbsoluteExclusive stream of the acoustic EP, “To You. From Us.” starts on March 24th.
*EP release on March 25th,
*Free EP release show in D.C. on March 29th (check page for more details)
*Short tour with We Shot The Moon kicks off in mid-April
*Bamboozle on May 3rd

<3 Andy, Rohan and Michael
