We're rockin' it at the Bath, Maine heritage days tonight from 8 to 10:30 with a fireworks interlude at 9:15. If you are up there, please make it out and have some fun! Saturday is the return to the Rusty Nail for a great night of fun and entertainment. We'll be looking for you on the biggest dance floor in 9 counties!

So without any delay, here's the bad news: Bass player and long time bud Eric has started a new day job, and it's the job he's been looking for for a while. Unfortunately, the new day job will not allow him to play in the band with us any more. We've looked at a bunch of ways to try and make this work, but it just isn't going to pan out. The rest of us will miss his presence, antics and all around great involvement in LKP. As Eric transitions into the new job we will start our search for his replacement. We've been very happy with the current lineup, and he's gonna be a hard one to replace. Our assumption is that we will be transitioning the new guy (or girl?) in somewhere in the October/November area, and we'll make sure everyone gets a chance to see our boy a few more times before he heads off to responsibility! We hope that when he has the chance, he'll come back and sit in with us from time to time, and kick out a few with us. All the best to the big Fische, and we'll miss ya!

So, that being said, anyone know any singing bass players? Have 'em give us a call at the cell below, or email me at info or john@lastkidpicked.com. Transitions in bands are always cool yet challenging times, and this was one that I hoped would never happen. But, you can't fault a guy for taking his dream job, especially when you pointed him toward it!

As mentioned above, we're in Bath, ME tonight, and Stowe tomorrow. We'll be back at Whips next Friday, and start off the season at Ricks in Naples, ME next Saturday.
