It's a mutal decision for all of us. E ric needs to take time to write more songs and promote the new album nationally. Michael and Marc can't play weekends due to their cover band schedule. Becky is a full-time teacher. So that leaves us playing the same 'ol songs at 9pm on Tuesdays for 3 people.
Fewer people can make the shows.
We had the same old songs. That'll run any band into the ground. W e thought it would be best to stop and get some new tunes and energy together. The press, TV coverage, radio play, sold out shows, album sales, fan following, etc. have all been wonderful, it's just that we need to take a break to get creative again. And like many bands, our friendship runs the current of our group so when we do come back, we'll have new songs with the same funky attitude.
