Hey Everyone,
We have always wanted to be professional and respectful to everyone involved, but unfortunately Shim has taken a different approach and has been distorting the facts to make himself out to be the victim of a surprise “ousting”. We released a statement on October 20th and had planned on not responding to Shim’s posting, but after reading all your comments we felt the need to set the record straight.
Shim's claim that “This was the first I had heard of it” is simply not true. The truth is Shim engaged a lawyer against US ... for the second time. He notified us through his lawyer that he wanted to dissolve the band. All our hard work and dedication was now in jeopardy, not to mention all YOUR years of love and support of the band. We couldn't let that happen so we made the difficult decision to move forward without him.
Despite Shim’s actions we still wish him the best.
We, Emma and Mark, love writing music, performing and being in this band. If you know us at all then you know that we would not casually throw away 15 years of hard work. We trust you understand and each of you should know that moving forward we only want, and have always wanted -- to keep the focus on the music.
Thank you so much for all your love and support and we'll see you out on the road real soon.
Emma and Mark.
