No radio show today as I'm getting ready to head home for Thanksgiving break. Lots of blogging today though.
This news will probably not get picked up by anyone else, but it means something to this blogger, so we're gonna give it its due.
Delaware-based rock outfit and friend to ¡Viva la Mainstream! The Crash Motive will be disbanding at year's end. In a message sent out to the band's mailing list, lead singer Derek Fuhrmann announced that The Crash Motive's remaining three shows in 2008 would be his last with the band, at which point he'll be leaving the band to record a solo record in New York. The other members of the band have further decided to not continue on as The Crash Motive. The nonsinging band members intend to continue on a new project, but details on that project are not available yet.
The Crash Motive were one of the first up-and-coming bands I wrote about here, way back in the early days of this blog. They were also one of the first bands to take VLM seriously, offering me promotional considerations and the like after I reviewed their album Consequence . It saddens me a bit that I will likely never see them live (their last all-ages show is this Friday ), but all the same I wish the band nothing but great success in the coming year.
