Chad, the spinning wheels thing was the deciding factor. It just seemed like that last 4 years everytime everything was looking good and momentum was on our side we got the rug pulled out from under us one way or another
That happens to a lot of bands.
I will have to try and make it to a Side Effects show sometime this fall.
Everyone wants to go to heaven but noone wants to die
Sorry to hear this guys. Really glad I caught the show last month. You guys tore it up! Scott, hope that Engl is not going to become a paper weight now-that thing slams!

i heard there was an all out BRAWL when you guys ended it. then lots of crying and hugging.
really though...you guys were one of my fav bands to go see. sucks you guys are done playing, but hopefully the future is good to all members past and present.
Thanks everyone!! I was part of FedUp for 2 1/2 years and it was alot of fun. Frustrating at times but everything always worked out somehow. Like Dave and Brian said,we were getting burned out just spinning the wheels,what are ya gonna do,shit happens. We got to jam with a boatload of talented bands/musicians and made alot of friends along the way-that was one of the best parts for me personally. It was an honor for me to get to jam with a group of guys that had talent and just made shows fun to play. I never knew what the hell Brian was gonna say while onstage to put one of us "on the spot" or who he was gonna slam into or spit beer on!!! Brian is one of the most entertaining front men in this area,hands down. Once again,thanks to everyone that supported us throughout the years,it wouldn't have been half as fun without you guys!!

Thanks Kenny!!! I'm hoping something comes along at some point,I have too much money in that amp to leave it at home to collect dust.
I'm not gonna respond to Mr. Flaws comment,hahaha,he's just a "crybaby"anyways,LOL!!!
I remained silent on this subject because i didnt know what i wanted to say and how i wanted to say it.
The very first time i played on a PA stage, Fedup also played that show. It was at aldos back in 2006.
Every one of those guys are friends of mine outside of Rockpage. They are all down to earth guys that are fun to be around.
I hope Dave & Scott dont sit idle too long before they get into another project. Brian & Joe have the side effects which is a band i really like.
Something good will come out of this, guys. Just look ahead and embrace the coming hour.

What's the date?
Sept. 19th @ 709 RR St. (all ages venue)
yeah its going to be such a great sober time. no alcohol and no drugs at those shows...some punk venue. I hope they put that on flyers so the 16 year old kids parents see so they think its safe for their kid.
As the roadie to this band, I thought that I should put my rose in this coffin too. It was a blast being there for all or most of their shows. I have some really good memories from this five year stretch, I enjoyed every minute of lugging in equipment/ lugging it back out and running for beer and ect... I always felt it enjoyable at the newer members being shocked that a chick could lift a amp or carry out a head. LOL They were all like my brothers and they never seemed to mind that I rode along. I have made many new friends and will never forget any of them. Especially Dave...LOL Lord knows can't forget about him...For god's sake I'm married to the man.....LOL Really though I hope that he doesn't stay idle long for long either. The man has some real talent and definitly has nitch for good music.
