HI EVERYONE. WE HAVE A VERY SAD ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE: SANTIAGO, THE DRUMMER, LEFT NOISE COMPLAINT YESTERDAY, ONLY A FEW HOURS BEFORE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT VITAMIN X AT THE GROSVENOR AND TWO DAYS BEFORE KIN HELL FEST IN LEEDS (BOTH OF WHICH WE WERE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO FOR MONTHS), SHOWING NO WILLINGNESS TO AT LEAST PLAY THESE LAST TWO GIGS IN ORDER TO HONOR WHAT WE HAD FOR A FEW YEARS; AFTER BEGGING HIM FOR AGES, HE AGREED TO AT LEAST PLAY THE VERY LAST SHOW TOMORROW, BUT WE GOT A TEXT FROM HIM THIS MORNING VOMITING A BUNCH OF EXCUSES AND BASICALLY REFUSING TO HELP US OUT AND PLAY, AT LEAST, KIN HELL FEST AS LAST GIG, SHOWING EXTREME LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM AND ZERO RESPECT, IF NOT TOWARDS HIS FRIENDS, BAND MEMBERS AND PROMOTERS (WHO WORKED REALLY HARD IN ORGANISING SUCH A BIG FESTIVAL), AT LEAST TOWARDS OUR FANS WHO WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE US. CONSIDERING HE WAS NEARLY BOOTED OUT OF THE BAND ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO (AND IT WAS OUR BIG MISTAKE TO DECIDE TO OFFER HIM ANOTHER CHANCE), HIM LEAVING IS ABSOLUTELY FOR THE BEST, AS WE HAVE BEEN GROWING APART STYLISTICALLY AND PERSONALLY FOR THE PAST YEAR, WITHOUT COUNTING HIS UNRELIABILITY AND (DESPITE HIS VERY THEATRICAL FACADE) INABILITY TO KEEP UP WITH THE TECHNICAL MUSICAL ISSUES NOISE COMPLAINT HAS BEEN TRYING TO MOVE TOWARDS IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, HAS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FINALISE A NUMBER OF SONGS THAT PRESENTED OBSTACLES HE COULD SIMPLY NOT OVERCOME, SO DARIO, STINKEN AND KEE ARE NOT DISPUTING HIS DEPARTURE, ON THE CONTRARY, WE CHERISH IT. BUT WHAT WE STRONGLY CONDEMN IS SUCH UNPROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE WITH LEAVING US IN SHIT AND REFUSAL TO AT LEAST PLAY THESE LAST TWO VERY IMPORTANT SHOWS, ONCE AGAIN PROVING THE COWARDLY ATTITUDE HE SO MANY TIMES DEMONSTRATED; IF HE ONLY WOULD HAVE HAD THE COURAGE TO TELL US A FEW DAYS AGO OR EVEN YESTERDAY AFTERNOON HE HAD NO INTENTION TO PLAY TOMORROW, WE COULD HAVE TRIED TO GET ANOTHER DRUMMER TO STAND IN, BUT IT IS NOW, OF COURSE, TOO LATE. SO STINKEN, DARIO AND KEE WISH TO DEEPLY APOLOGISE TO TOM AND COLETTE, VITAMIN X, HELLO BASTARDS, BLEACH AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO EXPECTED AND WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE US YESTERDAY AT THE GROSVENOR FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO COME CLEAN STRAIGHT AWAY AND STATE THE TRUE REASONS FOR THE NEED TO PULL OUT OF THE SHOW; TO PAUL PRIEST, ORGANISER OF KIN HELL FEST, AND TO ALL THE BANDS AND FANS WHO ARE GONNA ATTEND THE FESTIVAL, ONCE AGAIN, WE ARE VERY VERY SORRY AND STILL IN DISBELIEF ABOUT THE LACK OF RESPECT AND UNPROFESSIONALISM WE ALL HAVE TO DEAL WITH AT THE HANDS OF SANTIAGO, WHO - GUESS WHAT? - MADE HIS PAGE UNAVAILABLE THUS ONCE AGAIN AVOIDING TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS ACTIONS OR FACING CRITICISM - SOMETHING HE COULD NEVER DEAL WITH, AS HE THINKS HES GODS GIFT TO MUSIC AND THE WORLD (THE WORST ATTITUDE ONE CAN HAVE IN ANYTHING, AS IT ALLOWS NO SPACE FOR GROWTH OR DEVELOPMENT)… SAME GOES FOR KEEF WHO IS PUTTING ON HIS LAST GROVENORS SHOW ON MAY 10th; WERE SORRY MATE. NOISE COMPLAINT, HOWEVER, IS OBVIOUSLY STILL STANDING AND WE ARE ALREADY LOOKING FOR A NEW DRUMMER (SO ANYBODY THINKING THEY COULD FIT THE BILL, GET IN TOUCH!). WELL BE ON A SHORT HIATUS AND BACK WITH A VENGEANCE!!! STINK, KEE AND DARIO xNCx
