So...they were basically a cover band. Albeit, a good cover band.

That might be an optimal path going forward. Kinda how Rings of Saturn basically doesn't have Lucas Mann performing live much any more.

Really? Is there a reason Lucas doesn't play live for ROS anymore?

He'd have to learn the songs.

I never cared about the removal of the rep system until this post

God damn

Article sites Keene as having "severe muscle spasms" which is a symptom of heroin withdrawal...

 

[sakeido]

get that guy off the road and into rehab for fuck's sakes

 

[Sermo Lupi]

Wow, that's not looking good. I wonder what is driving Keene to push on with the tour? Could be any number of things...a reluctance to admit he has a problem, a belief he can cope with the withdrawals, or just simply a need for the money. I'm assuming it's not for a love of playing/touring since, by most accounts, it sounds like he's not happy with his performances.

Hope he gets the help he needs. The fanbase has been completely obliging of numerous no-shows and half-assed appearances. He's in a lucky position to have such a patient audience. I don't think many folks would fault him for taking some time from the band to do some rehab and get better.

I'm 90% sure he had a kid

 

[anomynous]

Anyone know who the vocalist is? He sounds pretty decent IMO

They actually sound really damn good. But the Faceless is just hired guns and in an ironic turn around, Keene is replaceable for playing it. He does need to get off the road and it seems like this is a win-win for EJ: they play the material, Keene gets writing credits and a cut for the Faceless Experience, but gets Keene in rehab where he belongs.

He'd have to learn the songs.

Until an addict admits to everyone their problem, they think they can hide it

The show tonight in Calgary has been cancelled....

 

[downburst82]

After some quick checking the cancelled show seems to be a Venue issue and legitimately not the bands fault? Weirdness...

 

[Smoked Porter]

Edit: nevermind

 

[Ordacleaphobia]

On the plus side, withdrawal means there's none in his system.
At the time.
So. There's that.

Something something small miracles?

The venue closed, had nothing to do with the band at all.
