of the three... there are now only two left... their lead singer jeff martin decided to publically announce that he's left the band and that he is interested in recording and touring his own solo music (pardon me if i'm mistaken... but wasn't all the tea party music pretty much written solely by mr. martin?)
at first glance, it might look like when david usher begain his solo career and left moist behind. but it's really not. first, david never made any sort of press release saying he's taking his mike stand and leaving (how anti-david the concept of a press release is!). and david's career sort of organically grew... he did a solo album while still in the band (the incredible 'little songs') and then went on to record the best moist album (mercedes 5 & dime) before beginning to release sucessive solo albums. and david still works with most (often all) members of moist. it does not seem that way with jeff martin. something must of happened... oohh... gossip gossip!
i'm curious to see what happens out of this. just as long as martin doesn't steal any of david's precious airtime.
interesting side-note... this news hasn't even hit their website yet!
edit : turns out it looks a wee bit nasty after all. one of the other band members has apparently issued a statement where he said that neither he or the other guy knew this was happening. ooh, the intrigue... or not. whatever. maybe we will have to suffer through a ctv produced "rockstar : the tea party" next summer! ahhhh, i kill me.
[music | tea party, "writing's on the wall"] (i'm not really listening to this - ewwww- but how true this sentiment ended up being)
