I can't believe that Brandybuck & I haven't gotten a thread about these guys up yet! I guess we have been rather preoccupied. LOL! So anyway, these guys won the Bodog Battle of the Bands last night giving them a 1 million dollar recording contract with Bodog Records &, I believe anyway, that they also won the contest for Best Tour Diary granted them another 10K! ;D These guys are AWESOME, stand-up guys that happen to be able to play the he** out of their instruments too. If you haven't heard their stuff yet, you definately should - it's GREAT! If you like early MCR (you know, a bit more punk), you'll love these guys. And, just so you guys don't have to go trudging all over the place trying to find their stuff , I'm adding a link to their merchandise page. The stuff is VERY reasonably priced. If you're looking to buy clothing you may need to wait a bit though, as they are selling out of just about everything! (Which is actually wonderful news!) So, check them out - I promise that they are great..... Fall From Grace MerchandiseSincerely, Laurasia

Awesome video! It is so good to see them getting the airplay that they deserve, and so many crappy bands get instead.

Sad news from the band....both Kenny B & Big Ken have decided to leave the band.
This is from the guys' myspace pages:
Kenny B: "Wednesday, January 20, 2010,
"Read Carefully" There's so much to say, so much so that it is literally impossible for me to paint a clear picture by just posting a blog. However, It is very important to me regardless of what others have said to inform you myself because you simply deserve it. This is for all of you that have supported Fall From Grace. Your support is truly overwhelming at times and I thank you for that! Each of us were always so grateful we had the technology and the ability to reach out and communicate with all of you, so that is what I am doing.
With that being said, Ill be as straight forward as possible and hope that you can trust that my decision was made after thinking about it from every angle and for a very long time.
I have left Fall From Grace. There will be no specifics in this blog as to why, due to the fact that there is a level of respect for others involved that I simply will not ignore.
I can tell you that I found myself on a path that I felt I was not intended to follow. I ignored and suppressed that feeling for a long time with the hope that my drive to overcome the challenges the band faced from outside forces, would return. It did not. I've had that feeling before in my life and I learned that when your heart starts to tell you your not in the right place, you should quickly find out why, and start to re-assess where you want to be and what you want to do. I quickly found out that at that moment what I wanted to do, and what I was doing were not the same thing......the worst part was, for me, they couldn't be.
So, I again I wish to thank any of you that read this for all of your support of Fall From Grace, past, present and future. I ask of you to try and be understanding, and more importantly I ask of you to support and trust that the remaining dudes will keep going for as long as they can. All the memories of hangin out and chillin with each of you I cannot and will not forget.
Music is a powerful force that we can always enjoy. For those of you who have started a band that we or I have been lucky enough to influence, motivate yourselves to keep what is truly important to you visible at all times.......never lose that.
My myspace will be up for a short time for your comments, questions, or concerns......I put all of this into words for you, again, despite what others wish, because you deserve to know, not later but now. I've never gained anything or felt good about hiding something important from anyone I love. Because of you my past five years behind my drums have NOT been a waste of time, and I wouldn't change a thing.
Cheers to you, and thank you again!
KennyB"
Big Ken:

"A Sad Day... " Category: Life
Along with Kenny, I too have decided to leave Fall From Grace. It's one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. I feel as if I have lost a loved one. But, I have decided to leave for personal reasons. There is no bad blood. No drama, and no, I'm not going to kick someones a**.
In stating this I'd like to thank everyone who had supported up over the years. Those of you who put us up for the night, put some food in our bellies, lent a shoulder when it was needed, shared a many o' beers, came to the shows, stood up for us, booked and promoted our shows, and on and on. To you folks I'm deeply indebted to and truley grateful.
It's incredibly difficult to type this without a slough of emotions pouring through, but I'd like to wish Brian and Tryg the best of success in the future.
As for me, I'll play again, in due time.
Thanks for all of the good times!
Ken!
I'm now gonna go have sex with Kenny"
Needless to say I have been heartbroken by this news. However Ken & Kenny both know what is best for themselves & their families. The band will never be the same without either one of them, but hopefully this change will end up being for the best.
Sincerely, Laurasia
