we are saying that the two are out, but there is no official statement yet, so no reasons to be given either... if we are given any reason, it's still not for any one of us to answer that until it is officially released, hence the "lips-are-sealed" faces ( )

If you really want some info on the band then check out this link and listen to the interview. Sounds Like Kem will be playing with the band along with angel from genatorturers. Basicly guys come and go in the band. Sometimes they want to go to another band (Dan - Ventana) sometimes they want to go to collage and sometimes they just don't want to put in the comitment of being in a band.

if you guys read the newsletter it stated "Since the Florida Shows during the first weekend of this month, we have been hard at work songwriting along with our friends Kem from Celldweller, who came down from Michigan to spend some time with us, and Angel, the drummer from Pig and Tinjen, who is visiting from Cleveland, Ohio. We have known him since his Genitorturer days. We will be spending the next two months writing enough songs to complete our full length CD which we expect to have out by the beginning of next year.
We wish our drummer, Morris, well in his new ventures. As most of you know, his last show with us was the Culture Room in Ft. Lauderdale on September 3rd. He wanted to go in a new direction with his career and we wish him all the best in that endeavor. We will be announcing his replacement in the near future."
As for Travis, his reason for leaving wasnt in it

James gave me the low down on the departures... I was not supposed to say anything until he started to bark about it. So, he pretty much covered all the bases with his speech there but left out about Travis. From what I know, Travis wanted to continue college, I'll miss him cus he's my AIM buddy and person I bitch to about Crossbreed stuff plus a pretty cool guy. He added a good feel to the music and was someone you could always talk to at a show. Morris was going to try playing another band he felt used the talents he possessed better, which I can't blame him for doing because it didn't seem like he was put in the spotlight much. He's a really good drummer, a really short guy too, but a completely awesome person if you could ever get him to talk to you. Almost every time I tried to talk to the guy he kept walking, maybe he just didn't hear me. I dunno, I liked his style on the drums though, pretty serious guy with the sticks.

Allright thanks guys for clearing that up...you know it sucks how members keep leaving and stuff. I guess just how life goes. Crossbreed will stick rock no matter whos in it.

Just to repeat what some of you have already said. Morris' departure was announced in the Newsletter. Travis decided he wanted to go to college and so decided he couldn't do both the band and college...especially as the college he wanted to go to was in another city. And yes, Angel and Kem will be doing the tour in Oct/Nov. with the band.
I would like to comment on something else. Crossbreed has been together for 10 years. For the first 7 of those years there were NO CHANGES, other than additions. They went from a four-man band of Chris, James, Charlie and Travis Simpkins to 5 man with Jason Troph for one year and then Flip for the next 5yrs. Then in either '99 or '00 Izzo joined the band to make up the 6th member. Its quite possible that if Artemis had done right by the band, the original members may have still been with them. Its only been in the last 3 yrs that we've seen a few changes, and that happens until you get the right person in a position. Also, people's goals in life do change, especially when you are talking about the length of time we are here. The changes have all been in the drummer and the one keyboard position--but, mainly the drummer. Also, Lil Dan didn't leave to join Ventana; he was in Ventana already when he joined Crossbreed and decided he wanted to stay in Cleveland where Ventana was located. Let's hope that the next choice will be a lasting one. However, the core group of Chris, James, Ian and Corey have stayed stable and I don't foresee any of them leaving the band. Travis Simpkins and Flip decided to do something else with their lives and have both chosen the computer field. In fact, Flip has just been accepted at Georgia Tech for the last two years of his degree and Travis has his Associate degree in Computers and is now working in that field. The band will let you know as soon as they have permanent new members for those two positions. I will repeat; over a 10 year life span of the band, there haven't really been that many changes! The only reason it may seem that way is because some of you are new fans and aren't familiar with the band's history; that and most of the changes are recent.

LOL Yes I read that. I love Wikipedia and use it for everything. I have read the article on there about Crossbreed but don't remember what it said. I'll have to check it soon and see what needs changing
