Drag the River-Over

Virgil from Suburban Home here. After speaking to Jon Snodgrass and Chad Price of Drag the River, Jon has come up with the following statement about the future of the band:

I know you've all been curious and it's not the best...but not the worst news.

Drag the River for now and perhaps forever is over.

Chad and I are still buddies. That was never the issue.

We do have different releases including that DVD to finish and will work on those together but we won't be touring. Sorry.

Yes. Dave is in Rocky Votolato's band and I wish him well with that.

The Aug./Sept. Armchair Martian tour that had been suggested will now actually happen. The "Good Guys, Bad Band." retrospective and the "Who Wants to Play Bass?" re-release will surface simultaneously from Suburban Home Records/Mars Motors. For now check out J.J.'s band Hussy , Harvey Knuckles, Casey James Prestwood, and Two Cow Garage(cuz they kick ass & just put out a new record)

later buddies,

Jon
We at Suburban Home could not be more bummed about this news. We hope to give you updates on what Jon and Chad are doing and with luck, we will be bringing you some of the final Drag the River recordings.

One of my favorite bands of all time too........Time for that beer..........

just found this out on the other boards. bummer, glad I saw 'em on the most recent tour. It was a wild one at Thee Parkside.

SO bummed.

Hey Jon...wanna start a band?

yes, R.I.P. DTR, but welcome back ARMCHAIR MARTIAN!
