The End of A Horrible Night to Have a Curse (cont)

Along the way, we all spent an ungodly amount of money on equipment, merchandise, and travel expenses. We bought a band van, pretty awesome. Nothing validates you as much as rolling up to a show in a 15 seater van.

These are some of the shirt designs we had made. They were pretty sweet. We sold them for 10 bucks each, we probably made over 3000 dollars in 2.5 years, but we never saw the profits since we used them to record, buy more merch, and pay for gas etc.

This is our band van, it seated 15, awesome trips in this.

Sleeping in the bench seats was like sleeping in small stinky coffins.

We started recording our new material several times, always stopping for one reason or another. In the end we never finished, I'm still way mad at a few people over it. Never finishing is one of my biggest regrets. I pushed and pushed, before we even knew the band would end soon, but no one else was invested enough to be anything but annoyed at my insistence. The descision was made to end the band, and a last show was planned at The Avalon Theater with iwrestledabearonce, The Human Abstract, and Oh Sleeper (all awesome bands and huge influences on me). We played the show, it was kinda disappointing, the crowd wasn't very responsive, and we didn't play very well.

After the show, our brother band Fear Me Dear pressured us into playing another last show with them. We had one last practice the day before the show on June 26th. It's a good thing we played it, it was really fun, the venue was pretty full, and there were a lot of kids in the pit. We played really well, officially announced our breakup, and sold about 20 shirts.

Andrew, Zach, and Ryan are all planning on starting another band to tour with next summer, and I'm not quite sure what to do with myself.
