That's Outrageous!, a fantastic band, has gone through yet another lineup change.
I love, love, love their music and this was devastating news.
Apparently, their guitarist David Newton was kicked out of the band, and didn't even know it for a little while.
Here's what Newton said on his blog:
"2 strikes and you’re out!
Well, can’t exactly say I saw this coming. After being to referred to as one of the members of the core three, with my former fellow guitarist and bass player as well as the constant talk of problems in another band members performance I was kicked out of That’s Outrageous! I finally confronted the bass player after being ignored by the members for over a week and he gave me the news. I would no longer be playing guitar for T.O! I am a drummer… not a guitarist was the reasoning. While I am mainly a drummer, I’ve molded myself into quite the guitarist over the time I’ve been given. If you’ve seen us live I’m sure you’d agree.
I would love to put everyone on blast, but I’ll be the bigger man.
Thank you for all of your support.
I will be announcing a new project in the upcoming months.
David"
I think that's absolutely ridiculous. First the band's clean vocalist leaves, and now that they've lost their guitarist. What gets me is if he was considered one of the "core three", why'd they kick him out?
I don't understand but I'm really upset that the band's gone through two lineup changes already. I knew they were going downhill once they lost their first clean vocalist.
Just break up already, it's outrageous.
