Well as San Diego natives, we do not have much hope in our sports teams as our Padres are close to a 100 game losing season and our beloved San Diego Chargers lost the first game of their hopeful Super Bowl season, but there is one thing that is for sure: Londons Falling is a stable and mobile band. So yes, another transition has taken place in this band and we introduce a demonstrative drummer that goes by the last name of Bolton. Kats and kittens, we introduce our new drummer: Brant “no he hasn’t heard the fuckin’ joke, Michael, so fuck off” Bolton. This transition has finally pieced the puzzle together of this band and we are quite stoked about it. Brant also plays in the band Spero Lumina, so we are in-debted to Aaron, Weston, and Sean for this opportunity to play with such an amazing drummer.  So settle in, my comrades, more shows and a new album awaits…………………

Join Thousands of San Diegans, SEPTEMBER 20th 2008 9am-12pm, in Keeping our Local Beaches, Watersheds and Ocean Free of Pollution

Registration is now open for the largest volunteer event in San Diego!

San Diego Coastkeeper and I Love A Clean San Diego, in partnership with the California Coastal Commission, join together each year to cleanup local inland and coastal waterways and beaches in order to prevent marine debris from entering the ocean and to educate Coastal Cleanup Day participants about the importance of pollution prevention. Up to 80 percent of the marine debris on our beaches & oceans comes from a land-based source and that’s why we are counting on YOU to clean up your local beaches, bays, canyons, rivers and creek beds to prevent this trash from polluting our ocean.

On a very belated note, we want everyone to welcome our long time friend and new bass player, Nick Rodney. You may remember Nick from such great Ramona bands as, Split Second and RxDrama. Although it hurt to watch Fred go, we support him in all of his endeavors. Since Nick joined the band a few months ago, his drive and dedication has inspired us to work harder than ever as a band to expand our horizons. From his relentless effort to learn all the songs, to jumping in head-first and taking our online presence and networking to new levels, Nick has reminded us how fun a band can be if you have the right attitude, drive and dedication! Welcome aboard Nick, it is a pleasure to be playing with you again our dear friend!

As many of you have heard by now, our dear friend Matt Ruiz was involved in a fatal car accident last Friday. At this point we are patiently awaiting news of his recovery. I would just like to take a moment to express our love for Matty and his many accomplishments as a friend, a musician, and recording engineer. Matty recruited me into the first punk band I was ever in called Last Resort where we shared countless good times and started to make our mark as musicians in the Ramona community.

Well maybe not the cover of the Rolling Stone, but we are featured as “MP3 of the week (January 4, 2008)” on SanDiegoPunk.com. Special Thanks to Joe. I dunno know how or what you did to get us there but you did it buddy. Also, it has been decided that our very same Joe will be doing the artwork for the compilation on East Village Records.

Hey peeps, the merch is in and ready to be distributed to the masses! Zac says the T-Shirts are right up his alley, and you know…Hansel is so hot right now, so you better run out and get one right away. Also if anybody wants to start a Londons Falling street team and start plastering the town with stickers say OI! (crickets) or maybe a retro button could polish off your hipster ensemble quite nicely . Buttons courtesy of Ryan at www.wemakebuttons.com…

Wow, an extensive duration without rhetoric! Well, comrades, that is what happens when Londons Falling is making up for time squandered. Sooooooooo, here is what has been going on and what is coming into light: Aaron and Fred have been quite impressive with their skills and have learned every single song off the Anxious Season album. We actually played the whole album from start to finish! That was a rush!! They have also learned quite a few songs off of Dichotomy, but there is still alot of work that needs to be done.

So a quick update on what is concoting in the LF camp. In recent developments, we had to undergo some changes to make this monstrosity called Londons Falling follow through into fruition. We had recently asked Zac to play since he has been a member of the family for the last five years, but due to rigid commitments, he had to decline and we support him with his decision since he will always be our brother in crime. And Ricky, the youngest of the group, has a commitment to his country that he has to adhere to and we support him and his endeavors.

Ricky and Sherry tied the knot!! Although they did this quite a few months ago they just had the reception. A good time was had by all. In a last minute decision, Kevin was nominated to give the best man speech, and he delivered like only he could. We laughed, we cried, we said our goodbyes, and before we knew it they disappeared into the sunset. Check out the pic.
