Last show June 5. Dudes DO Die.

Dudes DO Die

After much consideration, Stressed Out is breaking up. This band has been so much fun and so important to my mental health. The past two years have been terrific and have meant more to me as a person than I can currently express in words.

It totally sucks, but let's all make this last show a positive end for us all. It is with Black Kites (who are outstanding) and Coerced and Veloz, who are both from Boston. We may put out another tape for this June 5 show. I am not sure, being that this is sixteen days away.

I want to take this time to thank a bunch of people.

Mike Davis, thank you for being the ‘sixth member’ of this band. You supported us at every local show we played and were there from the very beginning when we sucked. You always looked out for me. You contributed more to the band than I did at some points. Through this band, we became best friends. You won’t believe me, but this band would not have been the same without you. Thank you.

Pat Gerity, thank you for putting out our tape. I know we do not sound like other Ride The Fury bands, and I will always appreciate that you did this for us. Thanks again bud.
