We are very proud of the hard work we poured into this project.
The project is a bitter-sweet for us. The day Michael brought BOMB to our rehearsal for us to see, Kris and James had a bomb of their own to drop.
Both Kris (bass) and James (guitar) have decided to formally leave Crash Effect due to "musical differences". It was a bit of an odd conversation at the time because the EPs had arrived and were sitting on the coffee table in front of us in their shiny-new reflective cellophane wrapping and you could still smell the ink. After talking it through with them, and coming to a general consensus that it was for the best for all parties, Michael and I went over to Caribou to talk about the departure and figure out what to do next. It was kind of poetic sitting in the exact same Caribou where Michael, Jamison, and I had conceived the concepts that would become Crash Effect. It felt like square one, back to the drawing board. I have come to know this to be true; If you spend enough time at a Caribou with a Wireless-Internet connection eventually you will come up with a brilliant concept. That was exactly what happened for Michael and I as we formed the band, came up with foundation for the band, and what direction to go with the band from here. It seemed to be one of those blinding flash of the obvious moments now in hind site. The foundations had already been laid. We didn't need to reinvent the wheel. Crash Effect is about community. It always has been with our work with charitable organizations. We are now going to take it one step farther. We are going to push on as a two piece incorporating the musical community around us. We want to collaborate with fellow musicians who can add to the music and join us in the humanitarian aspects of the band on a project-to-project basis. This enables the musical community to be apart of Crash Effect, add their contribution, and leave their fingerprints on the music and community so-to-speak. It is likely that we will continue to work with Kris and James on a project-to-project basis in the future. I'm sure you will see them on stage with us or their name in a CD insert from time-to-time. Michael and I will operate as principals as we work with musicians to make a mosaic of music. Although Crash Effect has always been community based we now are kicking open the floodgates to a larger community to be apart of. We are excited for what the future holds and the amazing opportunities we will have. Kris and James leaving may be the closing of a chapter but there is now a blank page before us. We have already been hard at work with a new look, sound, and vision. As we are so appropriately named, the Crash is not stopping or even slowing down but changing course and picking up speed and more rhinos!
