Boys Night Out drummer Ben Arseneau has decided to leave the band to teach drums and possibly pursue education. His last show with the band will be in Pittsburgh on the Saves the Day tour on July 11th. Fordirelifesake drummer Brian Southall will fill in the rest of the dates, including Warped.
Also, the band has titled their forthcoming album TrainWreck.
Straight from the e-mail newsletter:
We'd like to let all of our fans know that our drummer, Ben, aka Shitty Ben, has decided to leave Boys Night Out. Ben's been awesome, he has worked his ass off alongside the rest of us through everything we've been through in the past couple years, and we are forever in his debt. He's decided to move on to teach drums, and possibly go to school. We wish him the best in whatever he chooses to do… and sorry ladies, he's taking his sexy pink drums with him. Ben's last five shows with Boys Night Out will be the first five shows of our upcoming Saves The Day tour, from July 7th in Boston to July 11th in Pittsburgh. If you plan on attending any of the first five shows, please come say goodbye to Ben, and bring him presents.
As for the rest of Boys Night Out, have no fear, as all scheduled touring will be going on as planned. We've enlisted the help of our good friend and amazing musician, Brian Southhall from Detroit's Fordirelifesake. He will be starting on July 12th and will be doing the remainder of the Saves the Day tour in Cleveland, and all of our Warped Tour dates as well.
FALL 2004 PLANS After Warped Tour we plan on taking the rest of 2004 off to write and record our next record entitled, "TrainWreck". Brian is going to be writing and recording the record with us, so expect tons of finger tapping, and sweep picking (for Fordirelifesake fans). We will announce a 2005 release date on Ferret Records sometime late during the Fall, and plan on touring heavily aro
