| Geoff
Walker's Last Day |
Band Statement reports: On The Last Day Fans,
We regret to inform you that singer Geoff Walker will no longer be a part
of On The Last Day. For a while now, the band (Aaron, Drew, Frank, and
Justin) has been trying to grow in a direction that Geoff's presence would
not allow. We feel that this course of action is ultimately the best for
On The Last Day to continue its natural progression. We wish Geoff the
best of luck with his future endeavors-- wherever they may lead.
Make no mistake, On The Last Day will not
stop here. Aaron, Drew, Frank, and Justin will continue On The Last Day
without Geoff and begin searching for a new vocalist immediately. We currently
have new material in the works and hope to debut it as soon as possible.
If you would like to audition, please contact
us at: singforotld@gmail.com We hope you all understand.-

out this year’s predictions as MTV introduces “Spankin’ New Music Week:
Summer Soundtrack” across multiple platforms including MTV, MTV2 and MTV.com.

Reilly to Support Morello |
PR reports: Ike Reilly, the leader of Chicago-based
band The Ike Reilly Assassination, is confirmed to be joining Tom Morello
(a.k.a. The Nightwatchman) on a tour leg primarily through the West Coast
of the United States. Reilly will be hitting the road with Morello sans
Assassination and will be hooking up with Morello’s tour in July. Reilly
is touring in support of his recently-released album, “We Belong To The
Staggering Evening.”
Reilly, who like Morello grew up in Libertyville,
Illinois, has been popping up periodically at Morello's Axis of Justice
shows in Los Angeles and was often present as The Nightwatchman evolved
on the open mic scene in L.A.
Says Morello of the tour dates with Reilly:
“When two Illinois rogues hit the road together anything can happen, and
anything will. We are on a mission. It's like a Woody Guthrie/Pete Seeger
combo for the new millennium. Fathers, hide your Republican daughters."
Reilly adds, "Hide ALL of your daughters."[your
