We are sad to announce that Sunday, July 24, 2011 will be Chavis Fulmore's last performance with Dancell. For the past two years he has put more than 110% into the band and he will be missed. Listed below is his departing statement:
In the summer of 2009, I received a phone call from Patrick who asked if I could fill in for a couple of shows Dancell played. I owed him a favor so I agreed to help them out. Before I knew it, I was an official member of Dancell; I was finally in a band that was serious about having a career in the music industry. I did not imagine that, in the following two years, I would meet and befriend so many great individuals, play on the same bill with bands I admired, and even travel to play concerts. I have made so many great memories during my time with Dancell and when I look back on them, I can smile. Although my time with Dancell has come to a stop, my aspirations with music are not finished: my priorities have changed while my dreams and goals have not. In the past couple months, the band decided to venture in a new musical direction and it became clear that it was not a good fit for myself. With opportunities presenting themselves outside of the band, I decided it was best for me to depart. These guys have worked incredibly hard on this EP and I wish them nothing but the best in everything they do. I’d like to thank you, Patrick, for giving me that first call. Thank you, Sherwin, Mark, Justin, and Jun for being radical friends. As this chapter comes to a close, I think it’s time I start writing a new one.
To give him some love at his last performance, come to the BAYSIDE/Transit show at Jack Rabbits tomorrow night. (1528 Hendricks Ave) Doors @ 7pm. We are sad to see Chavis leave but we thank him for everything that he's done for us and look forward to playing one last show with him!
