"Its the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine..."

Hello every one Rodney here with some very sad news. I dont know what rummors may have been going around but last night The Derelix decided that this is the end for us. Why you may be asking well its simply we all have grown to want to do different things and different types of music so we have decided to go our seperate ways. There are no hard feelings no one is angry we all still love each other like brothers but all good things come to an end unfortunatly. I remeber when the band started that fateful summer night almost 2 years ago when my best friend kenny and another friend of ours wrote a quick rant about Hillary Clinton in my car on the war to the Warped tour and boom the Derelix were born Originally Me on bass and vox ken on guitar and our friend Ed on drums. while im at it ill give you a quick history if any of you care. So we began playing in my grandparents basement and added a second guitar enter Angel Lopez. A week later Dan was added to play bass but he came with his guitar so kenny moved to bass. So for a while it was Me vox,kenny bass,ed drums,angel guitar and dan guitar. Then there was conflic because Angel didnt like ska so we traded with then Wrekless Hope dan for Angel. Then 2 weeks before our first show we decided ed wasnt working due to him missing practice alot and lack of drum skills so we quickly grabed my step sister Shannon who could at least make a rhythem even if it was a bit slow she kept time (trust me if you heard ed you woulda taken her to so be nice!) Oct 10 2003 derelix first show... we sucked, droped shannon and picked up Tim (sorry shannon :( ) Played a few shows but still wasnt clicking. March we play our frist good show were people danced! and then forced Geoff into the band as a second guitar. Gained some momentum and played with one of my favorite bands the river city rebels. Then Finnaly Recorded!!!! went to RI w/o dan though "fuck no lead guitar" so what did we do got drunk and the legacy was born. Since then I havent played a show sober and havent had a bad show. and recently Tim quits but by this point we all realize that none of us are haveing all that much fun any more and we dissagree greatly on the direction of the band so we decided to call it quits... phew...

So with that said we will be playing one last show at Redmans hall date TBA with Madalines Demon and WLA who are both sadly breaking up :( but worry not dan is in a new band already as am I so keep an eye out for both of em cuz you know its gonna be good cuz cmon we're the best fuckin band around right!? So keep checkin in for the show date n stuff and share with us some of you derelix memories that rock!
With Love For all
xoxo
Rodney
