So as of now "Slade and the BIG NOTHING!" is no more. I can't say that we will ever play together again, record again or even talk again. Hopefully one day we may be able to have a real conversation again and eventually do something again. I just can't say my self if we will ever have the friendship that we did when we first started making music together. I hope we can eventually get together and at least do 1 last CD together where everything will be in better quality, but i am pretty sure that this would be something that is way to far to see.
But i am not here to rant on about how it is such a horrible thing that has happened i am here to say thank you to the bands that we got to share the stage with (Glutton Mouth, Pancake Breakfast, the terrordactyels, Autry, Silly Rabbit, ETC). All the wonderful venues that let us play (Mainly Centro Del Sol). And Olive's radio show that let us babble on for an hour.And Kadi that got us really trashed and let us stay the night at her house and gave us a ride to the bus station the next morning in the snow (8 hour bus ride in the snow sucked). And also Kelvin (member of "The M.R.K.s) for helping me get "Slade and the Big Nothing!" Started.
We played 11 Show between Cottage Grove and Portland Oregon. Our last show i was super trashed at and don't remember a single piece of the show. We have released 4 Cd's and 1 EP. This was probably the funniest thing that i have ever done in my life and this band still means the world to me no matter how ridiculous it may have been and off beat and poorly recorded it was still the best part of my life to this day and probably will always be. Me and Zane don't talk as often as we use to and we probably should more so but maybe we will cross paths or maybe it was meant to be this way i don't really know.
I hope for the best ANYTHING Zane goes on to pursue in life and i hope he come out successful in whatever he may do.
We still have some Merchandise if anyone is interested just send me a message and i will get to them ASAP about it CD's, Shirts, Stickers and even a couple buttons left.
Check out "Captain Crook Records" i may eventually release are old stuff that is no longer available on there just add them and make sure to check there page every now and then for updates.

Well thank you everyone that we either worked with, played with, or anyone that listen to or music and came to our shows it means the world to me and one day maybe we will cross paths again.
I'll keep everyone updated on new projects i may be working on in the future and if i hear about Zane doing anything as well everyone will be informed.
Thanx again everyone for the past year and how ever many months
