On October 18, Dave Douglas announced he was leaving Relient k. I'm rather sad about this.
Although Dave wasn't one of the original members, he more or less was. He's the definitive Relient k drummer. Pittman left right after Mmhmm came out. Now, instead of him, we have John Warne (who is moderately cool) and Jonathan Schneck (who isn't).
Original members: Matt Thiessen and Matt Hoopes.Granted, this has always essentially been Thiessen's band, and it will remain that way, but I'm sad that they've almost become another entity with the same name. Something will be different now.
Oh. And one more thing that I thought of while I was writing this. After Dave leaves (end of this year), Relient k will never, ever be able to play Life After Death and Taxes at its full potential ever again. And that is a sad, sad thing.
