Chris, keyboardist for pop-punk heroes Farewell, decided to leave the band in the middle of Warped Tour.The band is searching for a new player…read below the message the band posted on its myspace:

“Hello everybody–

We have so many things going on right now, I’m not sure where to
begin… I guess I’ll start with the bad news first. If you were at any
of the Warped Tour dates we played in Canada or the last one in Boston
you probably heard that our keyboardist Chris has left the band. He has
been a friend and band-member since the early days and we are sad to see
him go, but we ask that you have trust in the fact that this is best for
both Chris and Farewell. All I can say is that he has different
priorities now then when we started, so he’s left in pursuit of romantic
and monetary stability. With that said, I WANT TO REASSURE YOU ALL THAT
WE ARE NOT LOSING ANY STEAM DUE TO THIS. If anything, it has opened us
up to more possibilities, cause a person whose heart isn’t in the music
is no good to a band.

Now for the classified section….

We’re looking for a new keyboard player/back-up vocalist! You MUST fill
all these requirements to be considered for this spot:

1. You must be able to sing well (preferably higher than any backup vocals
you hear on our record)
2. You must be able to play piano AND synth
3. You must be willing and financially able to travel to NC for auditions
in August
4. You must have some touring experience (the more the better)
5. You must be a team player. Our band is a family.

BONUS POINTS:

1. An up-to-date passport for international touring SOON
2. Your own equipment

ONLY SERIOUS INQUIRIES PLEASE! (don’t waste our time or your own)
send an email to FarewellAuditions@gmail.com with your name, phone number, location,
and any other facts/info you’d like to share (like your myspace link,
previous band(s), photos, etc.. All of these things make it easier on us to see who you are and what you can do.)
Now for the GOOD NEWS……… We just got back from five weeks on the
Vans Warped Tour and have begun shooting a music video for our song
“Eighty-Eights”. There is going to be tons of crazy animation and cool
stuff involved, so get pumped! We also have plans to enter the studio to
record a cover song that will be released around the same time as the
video! Be sure to stay tuned to our myspace page for any updates. Thanks

for all the continued support! Seriously, you guys mean the world to us-

-Marshall”
