: RE: BRANDO Split?
: Hi guys.

: enough of being in the band, and that he was
: quitting.
: We have been together for 6 years, along time by any

: Self-belief, ambition, confidence, & perseverance
: are all essential ingredients in keeping a bands
: heart beating. Brian informed us that he no longer
: felt these with Brando and felt the need to move on.
: Im still in shock and sad that we are finished. We
: could continue, but for now it doesnt feel right.
: Personally, I will continue doing the odd solo gig, but
: my immediate plans are to take time off and do
: some travelling in America & South Africa,
: something Ive been putting off for a long time.
: When or if I return? Maybe a solo album, maybe not.
: Maybe another band, maybe not.
