Jamie Arentzen replaces guitarist Michael Guy Chislett

Also, just in case you haven't heard, we donated our Australian guitarist (Michael Guy Chislett) to our buddies in The Academy Is to go play with them because they are family (hell, I produced the new record and Michael played on it)... So it all makes sense. Lot's of love in the room! I am pleased to say I am taking on the road, my good friend Jamie (from American HiFi). He will be joining the Revolving cast of Gypsies known as TLGOT's. He is a mother on guitar, so you know what kind of a treat you are in for.

Sofi & Lindsey in Avrils new video girlfriend

If you caught Avrils new video for Girlfriend you can catch Lindsey(far left) and Sofi(far right) from Butch Walker's Lets Go Out Tonites along side Avril. They look to be having a lot of fun as usual!

Fall Out Boy #1 on Billboard 200, Sofi & Lindsey Touring w/ Avril

Fall Out Boy's new record hit #1 on Billboards Top 200. If you didn't know Butch produced a song on the record and his backup singers Sofi & Lindsey did some gang vocals on the tracks Bang The Doldrums, This Aint A Scene and Hum Hallelujah.

Its great to see a album Butch and the girls had a hand in has gotten to the #1 Spot on Billboard. This could only help their careers by hopefully getting them more exposure. Great job guys!

As well Lindsey from The Lets Go Out Tonites informed me they will only be touring with Butch for about 1 week on the tour. This is because the girls will be touring with Avril Lavigne. No word on the exact dates yet, but I'll try to keep everyone up to date.

Purchased my pre-order tickets

As the post below says, the tour dates have been posted. I pre-ordered 2 tickets for Cleveland (April 11th) & Columbus (April 13th) shows in Ohio! I am going to take a vacation day on the 12th since the Cleveland shows on a wednesday. But the Columbus show is on a Friday so I don't have to worry about work the next day!

If anyone goes to those shows maybe I'll see a few familiar faces from our myspace page!
