RidiKule sends note to N.L. about line-up change - By N.L. Belardes

Hey NL, What's going on in your corner? As I mentioned before, sort of candidly, we have had to make a difficult decision. In talking to label representatives for several different companies, I have been made aware of how hard it is to break into the big music scene. As everyone here in Bako knows, we are not exactly spring chickens and we have an extremely small window of opportunity to work with here. We have decided ( collectively ) to make a change in our family with RIDIKULE. Our drummer, Martin, is stepping down from the drum riser and we have recruited a new member to our family. His name is R.J. and he is 22. He has great appreciation for Martin and respect. What everyone needs to keep in mind is that we didn't just decide to replace Martin, we made a business decision that benefits the band as a whole. We will miss him on stage, but he will still have a part in the band as far as a mentor and to contribute his knowledge. This is extremely hard for us to do, but RIDIKULE as a whole has outgrown any one member and we need to keep the momentum going. We will be playing all of our shows that are scheduled and we will be doing future shows. As of today you can also pick up our merchandise at Outer Limits in the downtown area at 2006 Chester ave. We are proud to have them as our sponsor. You can catch R.J.'s first show at Mongomery World Plaza on July 14th with The Filthies, The Politicians and Hit bya A Semi. Thanks for your support and your coverage of all the happenings in Bako. Chris and Ridikule
