Fresh off supporting THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD and From A Second Story window along with labelmates LIGHT THIS CITY, Massachusetts? THE ACACIA STRAIN has returned home before hitting the road again in January and February. Vocalist Vincent Bennett has offered a bulky band update via the band?s MySpace page
(http://www.myspace.com/theacaciastrain):
?Hello everyone in heavyland. Vincent here with a large update. We haven?t spoken in a while so I figured I?d bring you guys up to speed. The Daniel [Dan Daponde, guitar] has bowed out gracefully. For those of you have been asking about Daniel J. Daponde, here are your answers: due to health problems, Dan has been forced to leave his position as a badass guitar player in The Acacia Strain. We miss him a whole bunch, and we are sure you all do as well.
Wish him luck in his future endeavors!
We are NOT currently looking for a replacement. Please stop asking. When we do end up looking for another guitarist, we will let you know. For now, here is what you might want to strive for:
1. At LEAST one year of tour experience as a musician 2. Commitment to us and the road, we are never home.
3. A good attitude!
4. Willingness and the ability to write music.
There is more, but like I said...We aren?t really looking right now. DL [Daniel Laskiewicz] is doing pretty well on his own.
The tour with Through The Eyes of The Dead, From A Second Story Window, and Light This City was fucking amazing! Thanks to all who came out and had a good time! See you again in January/February! Speaking of which, we are touring in Jan/Feb with Job For A Cowboy, Psyopus, See You Next Tuesday and Daath! DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO MAKE IT TO ONE OF THESE SHOWS. It?s going to be bruuuuuutal. See you there!
have a merry X-mas.
<3 Vincent?
