   About Friends of Lizzy

Thank You (and Goodbye) from Friends of Lizzy

hello friends, Some of you we haven't known long, if at all. Others we've known for years. perhaps since Brooks & Clay started the band with Adam Benthall in high school. Its hard to write this in a matter-of-fact fashion, but I'll do my best. After what seems like forever, we here at the friends of lizzy camp are going to call it a day. Life doesn't stand still, so why should we?! We feel good about what we've been able to accomplish & are ready to move on to the next chapter. But we just wouldn't feel good about leaving without saying goodbye.

We will play our last show next Saturday night (July 22nd) as part of our dear friend Ray Flowers' "RAYFEST" birthday celebration at the Red Eyed Fly. We will take the stage at about midnight & try to make it through as many songs as we can before they make us stop. It will be a great night, I'm really looking forward to seeing all of you that have shown us love over the years. For more details about the show, visit http://www.friendsoflizzy.com/shows/ .

I could make this message ten times longer if I allowed myself, thanking everyone individually for everything that they've done to help us make our music, but those people deserve to hear it in person.

To the casual listener, I would like to remind you that www.friendsoflizzy.com will remain your source for all news related to our future musical projects. I'd be shocked if you didn't see something new come from one or all of us within the next 6 months. I would also like to thank you for listening online, buying our records, and supporting us at live shows over the years.

That should about do it, We'll be liquidating our merchandise at the show, so if you ever wanted a friends of lizzy shirt but didn't want to pay for one, now is your one & only chance. We're giving it all away for free! Come celebrate a birthday & a funeral with us!

That Olde Bio

rocktacular. rocktastic? rockgasmic.

yeah, we play the rock music. we gots a van named rallystix. we'll be back on our feet soon.

so, the old bio was way huge. we shall put a new one in its place, but let us edit it down to a more bite-sized chunk.

in the meanwhile, sign up for our mailing list and we will occasionally tell you when we're playing, using only the finest grammars and punctuations!

your email address, please:

We got videos

Hi!

How's it going? Hope you are well. We just put some new tracks and new versions on the page and we hope you will stop by and check them out.

Our other major news of the moment is about Garageband.com. We are up at no.21 in the alt pop charts(no.1 in our round!) and so they are going to promote us to Clearstation radio stations across the USA! We will have a list of stations on our page within a couple of weeks!

Meanwhile we'd love to hear what you think of our (nearly..) final versions of the first 4 tunes.

Speak soon..

Best wishes,
J C

You know what is like the weirdest thing ever? My name is Lizzy! And I spell it with a 'y'! And I always get pissed at everyone for spelling it wrong!

I found out about you a long time ago when I was listening to my friend Mikaela's iPod, and she had "Friends of Lizzy" on there, and I was like "Wtf?" and she was like, "It's not you. It's a band." I was very excited.

I thought you should know.

Kuz I'm the only Lizzy with a 'y' in my entire high school.

It's cool.

And that is the end.

Hey guys,
J and I are very upset we couldn't come down for the last show. But, I sent my kid brother in my place to get me all the details. Come up and visit!

I just got the email and I'm so sad. =( I seriously want to cry! Friends of Lizzy was a driving force in my 5 years of college at UT ... I used to jam out to the very first CD (and I'm talking the FIRST one, the one that's not even listed on the website and didn't have a case or anything) every day on the way to summer school in '02. That is, until the heat melted it and it broke. =( I love you guys. Thanks for everything over the years. Your shows were fun and your music is real and I'll always love Lizzy's friends ... ;)

Love, Megan
