Hello Everyone! Well we have lots of news because we waited so dang long to post any. Lets just get right to it.

Wedding Our bass player Kevin is getting married in two weeks! We are wishing Kevin and Sarah the best of luck and the most happiness as they venture into this legally binding (unless you change your mind later) contract of marriage. Their wedding is Saturday, June 6th across the pond in England. Her Majesty the Queen will not be attending despite several emails from Kevin. Please feel free to wish him luck at kevinandsaraharegettingmarriedinengland@gmail.com. Bass player? Kevin will be gone for a month in total and while we thought about just firing him, I think we'll just get a substitute for the interim. Welcome the incredible, incomparable Caleb Johannes to Red Umbrella for a short while as we try our best to cope with the loss of Kevin on bass. We're excited to have Caleb join us for a few shows. Ladies, please do your best to control your excitement.

Baby! More Jay and Michelle news... Aiden is going to be a big brother! We're expecting our new little one to come around new year's 2010. We don't know if we're having a boy or girl yet but we'll let you know when we're absolutely certain around new year's 2010.

Studio The band is heading back into the studio shortly to being work on the next record. What? You want to wait another 3 or 4 years like last time? Well, sorry to disappoint but we'll be cranking out a new one ASAP. That's really all I have on that.
