We're Going Through Changes...

Yup...

So, where did I leave off...Oh yeah...a great local show here in Chicago and finishing up in the studio...We got everything done in January and were planning to keep things moving...Them, the bomb dropped in February...

Jim, the Cardiac Arrest drummer since 2005 had to leave the band. I'm not going to get into detail about this, but I will say it was not an ugly thing. Yes, it sucked for us, but Jim did what he had to do. This was not dick thing, nor a high-school drama thing. We are on good terms and wish Jim the best of luck in the future.

So, why did we keep quiet about this and why did we keep quiet for so long? Well, in my opinion, there is just too much information on the internet these days. We have Album #4 (I'm still not saying the title) done, we have a bunch of shows booked throughout the year, and frankly, we do not cater to drama, and it is none of anyone's business why a member left. Also, I don't believe people (especially on the internet) need to know every single detail about a band. There is no mystique left anymore and I don't think everything needs to be broadcast. Call me old, since I was around back in the day when information was not so readily available, but whatever...This is the way we chose to handle the situation and Jim agreed with it...

I guess I can be called a hypocrite as well since I am talking about it now...but it is almost 8 months later...We kept all of our show commitments and are working the new guy in (more on that in another post) and all is fine...I guess I just did not want Jim's absence to be the focal point of our future...Is that fair??
