Submitted by PG bassist Mike: “The sad news is that our good friend and long time guitarist pie (it took me a year or so to learn his real name is andy) has left the band. it wasn’t a big fight, musical differences or anything like that, he just couldn’t continue with our touring commitments and carry on a normal life at home at the same time. i’m sure a lot of bands know that feeling. It doesn’t mean we’re splitting up or anything like that. we couldn’t do that even if we tried… so, anyway, Ben (from brighton band random heros) is covering axe duties for a few shows we have in january, until we can sort a permanent replacement. iI people have a lust for the band life (i.e. never being able to get meaningful employment due to spending every 2nd or 3rd month in a transit van driving endlessly between shows) and speak in palm mutes and triplets, email mike@phiniusgage.co.uk ” Click ‘discuss this item’ for the band’s current tour schedule.
