us about the end of an era. Atom writes in his latest newsletter, "I've been playing consistently for the last 6 years or so and I'm sure that I'll remain active in writing and playing music throughout my life. In fact, I'm playing in a 'real' band with some friends as of recently, and I'm sure that I'll also continue to write and record songs by myself with sequencers and guitars, but the live part of playing music as Atom and His Package will be over soon." Atom and His Package will perform his final show Atom on August 29th at First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia, PA. Tickets will become available soon at R5 Productions or instore at Spaceboy Records in PA. Click below for Atom's full message.

Hi there,

I'm writing to let you know that I'll be playing one final show as Atom and His Package in Philadelphia on Friday, August 29th, 2003 at the First Unitarian Church, which is on the corner of 22nd and Chestnut Sts.

I've been playing consistently for the last 6 years or so and I'm sure that I'll remain active in writing and playing music throughout my life. In fact, I'm playing in a 'real' band with some friends as of recently, and I'm sure that I'll also continue to write and record songs by myself with sequencers and guitars, but the live part of playing music as Atom and His Package will be over soon.

I've had a wonderful time playing, meeting people through playing music, and seeing amazing parts of the world that I otherwise would not have been able to travel to. I wouldn't have been able to have these experiences or make these relationships, without a tremendous amount of help from a whole lot of people. So, thank you VERY much if you ever put on a show for me, let me sleep on your floor, couch, or attended a show, or were friendly in any way, whether in person or via the postal service or in email-town. These past six years have been wonderful. I've traveled very intensely for a long time, and I've played my songs in more places and more times than I would have ever thought possible, so thanks again very much if you've been part of this.

So, if you're interested, you can/will be able to get tickets for this show really soon on-line at http://www.r5productions.com or in person at Spaceboy Records (409 South Street, in Philadelphia). I'm not sure what other bands will be playing yet, but it should be a mushy, dancy, and fun time, so if you're up for it, I'll see you there.
Take care,

Atom
