RIP Presley: 2000 - 2009[views:36178][posts:39]_____________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 6:03am - badsneakers ""] On behalf of Presley, I would like to announce that we will no longer continue as a working band. This is an amicable split and we hope to get one more show in this spring or summer if we can. With some possible big changes in the future for Christian and Breaux outside of the band we have decided to end the band. We haven't been able to get over the plateau reached with the recording of The Mansion in 2007 and figured we've done everything we can do with whatever it is we do. Thanks for your support, and there will be a follow up message as soon as we know about a last show. The Presley Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/presley page will still remain. If you would like an mp3 zip file of The Mansion, please send us a message. - Aarne PS - in the meantime check out Breaux and Aarne's new band Who Carries The Lanternhttp://www.myspace.com/whocarriesthelantern |

| ______________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 8:34am - the_reverend ""] lame! |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 10:51am - Eyehatehippies ""] Ah, that's a shame, always dug you guys... |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 12:51pm - RichHorror ""] Was hoping to get Presley on the bill with Black Pyramid and Sin Of Angels in August. Lame. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 12:52pm - badsneakers ""] Ah I wish we could but I'm away. We do want to do one last show though |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 12:54pm - RichHorror ""] Cancel your life for doom. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 12:56pm - Eyehatehippies ""] Yeah, would have been nice to have played the last Presley show... |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 12:59pm - badsneakers ""] Ha! Yeah that show would be sick for a last one..can't do it though! I'd like a last show with black pyramid, ichabod and one other! |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 1:38pm - RichHorror ""] 9 years is pretty amazing, though. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 1:55pm - badsneakers ""] Yeah that's pretty long! We didn't play any shows for almost two years after we formed |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 2:36pm - josh_hates_you ""] you where a local band for 9 years and this is the first i have heard of you? good job. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 3:24pm - badsneakers ""] Awe.. I'm sorry buddy I guess you weren't paying attention |
| __________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 3:31pm - brian_dc ""] His loss. The Mansion is a great album. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 3:47pm - dreadkill ""] i saw presley at the middle east once. i enjoyed their set. good honest rock n' roll with well-written songs. there aren't enough bands like that around here. good luck to you guys in your future pursuits. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 3:59pm - the_reverend ""] I would not describe presley like that at all... you sure you are thinking of the right band? |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 4:15pm - RichHorror ""] haha yeah. Way more atmospheric and experimental. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 4:17pm - dreadkill ""] maybe it was a different band on the same bill that night with presley. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 4:19pm - RichHorror ""] You're stupid and I hate you. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 4:20pm - the_reverend ""] whoah.. someone's getting the delete! |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 6:17pm - badsneakers ""] Yeah I don't know I wouldn't say that sounds like us but there was one time at the mideastup, end of 03 maybe o4 that we decided to play a "normal" set of songs no long crazy improv just the songs as they appear on an album so that would have been more rock like in the vein of Hum. Rich I'll PM you, I'd love to set up a last show |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 29,2009 8:10pm - Rickless ""] wow, what straight up butt shit. that's really unfortunate. you cats were the first to be really supportive of us w/ hoof. it's too bad we only got to play like two shows together. now that we're both defunct it seems quite unlikely of ever happening again. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 30,2009 8:23am - badsneakers ""] Yeah I loved hoof! I didn't even know you guys broke up until recently when breaux ran into jay a t a bar in beverly. I wish we played more shows together..you start anything new? |

I would book such a show. Do it, we'd be down, I'm sure Ichabod would as well if there was a date we could all agree on. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 30,2009 1:32pm - GregDbass nli ""] As long as it's late in the summer. We have 2 shows at Obriens in May. Sucks to see you go. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 30,2009 2:05pm - W3 nli ""] so is this the august show at OBs Rich or something completely different |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 30,2009 4:28pm - RichHorror ""] badsneakers said:Ha! Yeah that show would be sick for a last one..can't do it though! |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 30,2009 5:46pm - RichHorror ""] What about July? I can't do August because I already have Black Pyramid with Sin Of Angels that month. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 30,2009 5:48pm - badsneakers ""] Presley is down... |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 30,2009 6:37pm - Rickless ""] Yeah, we're trying to start over from scratch, and write songs, and structures, but my heart just isn't in it. the improvisations just got really stale and started going nowhere. I think things just kind of dissolved after last summer, the end of the band is really due to self fulfilling prophecies after jay's brother got sick, and I got married and bought a house. sad. just sad. I'm dying to do something else, anything. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 30,2009 7:08pm - badsneakers ""] .. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 30,2009 7:30pm - badsneakers ""] badsneakers said:i hear ya..a lot of the same thing happened to us..the other two have shit going on and we got stale.. |
| ___________________________________ [May 1,2009 1:41am - RichHorror ""] What about July 4th? Everyone in the three bands can reply in here or message me, whatever. |

| _______________________________________ [May 1,2009 2:41pm - Eyehatehippies ""] I messaged the other guys to see if we can do the 4th. |
| _______________________________________ [May 1,2009 3:04pm - Eyehatehippies ""] Yeah, we're down for getting patriotic on the 4th. In for the kill. |
| ____________________________________ [May 2,2009 9:15am - badsneakers ""] Eyehatehippies said:Yeah, we're down for getting patriotic on the 4th. In for the kill. as it turns out presley can not do the 4th...but we're all good for august 1st! I hope you guys are down for that |
