This explanation's been a long time coming, I know. I started making jokes about Powerspace "falling off the face of the planet" over a year ago! So here:
A lot has changed in the last year, and the unfortunate result is that Powerspace is no longer a band. We've had to make some heartbreaking decisions and like any breakup, it's a complicated and private matter.
I set out to write a tl;dr version for anyone that might care to hear more than the standard band breakup letter--thanks for the memories, thanks for the support, that sorta thing--but I'm realizing that there's not much else I can say. Nothing new and interesting, anyway. It's true that Powerspace is no more--the name and everything that it signified. And yeah, like I'm sure Tom said elsewhere on the internet, we really are thankful for the memories and the support--it's a shame that things like this always come off as trite and insincere, that I can't think of a word that packs more of a punch than "thankful"--but we are, from the bottom of our hearts. The cliches turn out to be true, one by one--that we couldn't have done it without you, that we wouldn't have wanted to anyway if it weren't for you, that most of our memories from the last three years were built on your kindness and generosity and that sorta thing. That you were with us through it all, when we were (it has to be admitted) clumsy, inexperienced chumps. That you bought our tacky t-shirts (and snap bracelets, of course) so we could put enough gas in the van to get to the next city. That you were, in a lot of very subtle ways, wiser than us--again, something that sounds unbearably cheesy, but trust me, I'm thinking about the Kevin that used to have short hair and that tiny gray hoodie and the first of maybe 25 beanies that I lost on tour, and I've changed so much in just three years, and most of those three years were spent around you. Seeing all of the states for the first time (having only previously visited, what, like two states?), going to Canada, going to Japan... in short, taking what amounts to a three-year dream vacation (with less frequent showers, maybe) with your best buds--and all because of you. So thank you, a thousand times.
That being said, this isn't -quite- the teary-eyed goodbye I might've made it out to sound. Throughout all of its iterations, there was a lot of talent in Powerspace--prime stuff, really, which I feel like I'm in a privileged position to say, for some reason (my talents don't really extend past drumming, but one thing I'm -really- good at is respecting and even revering my fellow bandmates--don't tell them I said that). Powerspace as everyone knows it is 100% gone, and speaking about it in the past tense is still a very new thing for me, but for these guys to give up music entirely would be a crime. And they're not, and I'm not, and that's about all I can say. So keep tabs.
But again, and most importantly, thank you. If I kept rambling on, it'd just be a recap of all those cheesy things I said up there, so I'll just say the two words again and hope that, by virtue of repetition, you'll believe me this time: thank you! We wish you all the best and hope that we see you all again, in one way or another.

Sonicbids is an Artist and Promoters Worst Nightmare
Recently we began a trial usage of Sonicbids service for our artist and band searches.
As a result of that test it became clear that Sonicbids is all about earning money at the expense of artists looking to break through the wall that surrounds the music industry.
Based on our experiences from both the perspective of artists we are associated with seeking to benefit from opportunities offered though Sonicbids. As well as from the perspective of promoters searching for talent through Sonicbids service.
We have concluded that Sonicbids operation is nothing more than another one of these money making SCAMS that is generating as much as $8,000,000.00 a year for Sonicbids at the expense of artists and bands paying subscription fees on top of submission fees to be considered by promoters utilizing Sonicbids services. Of which many of these Promoters are running nothing but a SCAM on artists or bands that apply.
First, you should be aware of where the money goes. For every dollar an Artist or Band pays for Sonicbids’ subscription fees, it goes directly into Sonicbids pockets. Second, the first $100.00 of every listing by a promoter, as well as 50% of all fees you pay for any listing also goes directly into the pockets of Sonicbids. This means that Sonicbids is, by our estimation, pocketing over 75% of all monies collect from unsuspecting artists and bands.
We also believe that for every band that pursues any individual opportunity at least 50 artists or bands have applied for it, and in some cases 1,000’s of artist or bands. And in many instances after paying the fees and being selected the artist or band finds out they have to pay additional fees to be included, or they will receive a notice from the promoter telling them that even if they weren’t selected, if they want to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars they can still be included in the opportunity.
To the once known as Powerspace, wow.. it just made me beyond sad to read all that :*( no matter together or not, youre still my number one! im depresed i could never see you live for the middle of nowhere area i live, but im glad that you at least once were. i hope to still find merch somewhere eventualy b/c i have nvr been able to get anything online. and though you will not be together i will wear your Tee shirts proud knowing that you guys were amazing and thank you for my favorate cd ever boughten :] -Love, Katelyn

love, kelsey g.
ps i hope you all will continue and update us if you decide to continue to make music seperately
i really don't know what to say. i'm sad that it's over. i was looking forward to your next record, maybe even an european tour so i could finally see you guys live. but i respect your decision and i know it's not easy for you too. i'm angry with myself that i staretd to listen to you guys too late. but you will always be one of my favs bands, no matter if powerspace doesn't exist anymore. what can i say? good luck to all of you. thank you for your music and for being wonderful soundtrack to many of my memories. love you.
you guys were so awesome. i remember after i saw you guys at bamboozle, i went straight to the booth and bought your cd and t-shirt. ha. it's sad to see you guys break up. =[ i wish you all luck on your separate ways.
You guys were my favorite band! I love you guys! I can't believe you're breaking up... I never even got a chance to see ya'll live :( You guys had the most interesting songs and catchy tunes. Prolouge: Adam Beckett is my favorite song, And Sleep, Everyone... is and always will be the best song i've ever heard. Powerspace, goodbye <3
its hard to say goodbye to such an amazing band (even though all good things must come to an end sometime) =( =/ .. im glad i saw you guys live two times - had so much fun rocking out to your music!! (btw "sleep, everyone..." will always be my favorite powerspace song..its the best <3)
whatever future path you guys decide to take...i will fully support!!! all the best x0 <3
Okay so you guys can't break up...... )= This is really sad to hear... I llove your guys music and I will alway's love it... I'm still sad...)= Well I wish you lucky.... loveya!!!
At least release American Machine; the complete parts would be enough. We fans have been waiting for a long time, and now you lot break up. Not to say I don't care about the band and that I just want the album, but I think the fans deserve it after waiting so long. A last goodbye of sorts. We want to hear the new Powerspace as it was before it was over, not the one from three years ago.
I didn't expect this to hit like it did. =( Even when you fell off the face of my little world, I had hope you'd make a comeback. I wish you guys luck, and I'll miss you a fuck ton. =( Love -Kasey
this is sad. ive had so many great time because of yall. i will never forget being in the elevator with alec when yall played at the norva july 2nd. i will never forget the friends ive made because of yall. you will always hold a special place in my heart. best of luck with everything <3
