Killwhitneydead. frontman Matt Rudzinski has elaborated on the bands plans to not tour this summer, you can find his statement below:
“Well, as the saying goes…”all good things must come to an end.”
Now the end of KILLWHITNEYDEAD is NOT at hand, but this summer is the first summer in four years we will not be making our usual trek across the USA to rock out and see all our friends. For people looking to place blame I will take that upon myself as I am the one who has had to make the tough call and pull out of KWD’s usual summertime routine.
I have had some personal life issues come up that I need to resolve (cliché, I know), but most people have no clue that I am almost 40 years old and there has come a time when my life must come before the band or even it’s fans. So I did what most KWD fans would believe to be unthinkable, I stopped all KWD’s tour plans for 2010 before they could be made (as to not waste our booking agent’s time).
So I apologize to all the fans who feel disappointed by what I have had to do, but in this “downtime” away from everyone we will be pushing forward on the new album that has been promised to you for the last two years and I will be doing my best (as KWD’s label boss) to make sure that we get it done in time for release in early 2011.
In case you didn’t know we do have a new recording up right now, it’s not our song but a brand new INSIDE OUT cover song recorded exclusively for Tribunal Records 100th release. Check it out HERE
Since we have no full US touring plans in our immediate future and in response to being unable to meet our fans expectations we have booked two local shows here in North Carolina. We hope that our fans (NC and otherwise) will do what they have always done and that is come hang out and party!
These two shows are the first for us in 2010 and could very well be the only shows of 2010. We are unsure what the future holds as far as us playing live, but we want to at least give the fans a chance to come hang out and witness what is possibly the shortest summer non-tour ever.
We have also decided in true KWD fashion to commemorate this occasion with our first ever “NO TOUR” Tour T-Shirt. Our good friend, Mark De Gruchy sent me the design and it made me laugh so I decided to make it our official (no) summer tour shirt of 2010.
These will naturally be limited edition and will be available through the summer months while we are not out on tour! Get the point, by now? No KWD US tour! Buy a shirt that will have all your friends thinking you were stupid to buy, but in all actuality they are saying to themselves…”Man, that is a cool shirt, where can I get one?!”
We naturally appreciate any and all the support you can give us.”
