Dead New Year to end it?????
That's right, kids. Dead New Year is calling it quits. After discussing it, Rat Bastard and I have decided to part ways in search of music that better fits what we are both into today, rather than last year. Rat's got some things in the works with a more goth feel, and I've got my little project, Johnny Coal and the Whores of Babylon, that I've been writing for on the side for some time now.
It's not all bad, because, after it's all said and done, we've had the pleasure of doing a lot of things in a short time that some unsigned acts never get to do.
We toured the East Coast within the first 7 months of being a band.
We played one of the biggest goth nights on the East Coast.
We released a cd.
We rocked out with the Brides, the Voodoo Organist, Psychocharger and many more.
We made a lot of great friends, saw interesting things and had a lot of fucking fun.
The first of two farewell shows is confirmed for May 1st, as part of Sacrosanct at the Nanci Raygun in Richmond, VA. We'll be rocking with the Voodoo Organist once again, as well as American Sinner, a band we played our first club gig with back in February '05 in DC.
The last show, TBA, will most likely take place in Charlottesville, VA in May or June, unless we get a really good offer to go somewhere else after the C'Ville show is over, in which case, the C'Ville show won't be our last show...
The last rehearsals are slated to begin this weekend. Saying goodbye isn't always easy, but I'll be damned if these shows aren't going to be fun... We'll have the last remaining copies of, "The Hangman's 8," and a shitload of DNY buttons for sale or maybe as free parting gifts.
Take care, and thanks for sticking with us!
