April 2 Announcements

Hi Internet,

First of all, thanks to all our adventurous (and punctual) fans out there who decided to check out the April Fools Day Edition of "It's About Time." It was only up for 24 hours on April 1 and the actual music was buried in band commentary ranging from a discussion of Apollo Ohno's soul patch to the real reason why Country Dave's keyboards were so low in the final mix. If you're really curious to hear 40+ minutes of commentary, I'm sure it will be floating around on the internet soon...or you could just ask someone who downloaded it very nicely.

The commentary was recorded a week ago and leads to a bit of confusion. Let me clarify:

We are no longer playing on the Chase Long Beach/Starpool April 9 Glasshouse show.

This was due to a scheduling conflict on the Glasshouse's end. Country Dave will still be there screaming inaudibly to the Guilty Parties last set, and you should too! We weren't happy to hear the news, but there is no drama. We'll be back in Pomona on June 26 at Ska in the Park 2010.

Tara Pearce has decided to focus her efforts on Giant Book Sale and will no longer be playing with Half Past Two. Lindsey Smith, overall nice person and talented multi-instrumentalist, will be taking over as the lead singer of Half Past Two.

We wish Tara the best and we're currently looking into some farewell options for her to bid audieu to the fans, but we'll have an announcement on that in the near future. Until then, please welcome Lindsey and check out her mad djembe skillz:
