IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - We're done
We're being serious. This morning, our drummer Ty was killed in a fire. We don't wish to continue without her.
Those of us who knew her personally knew about her difficult living situation, Mitch and I offered her to stay with us multiple times, but she refused every time due to personal reasons that are frankly none of your business. Just know those very reasons ended up playing a hand in her death and we think the accident that killed her was preventable.
I can say for myself that meeting Ty really flipped my perception of the world upside-down. She was a kind, selfless soul, even when she had nothing. I really wish I could've done more for her. I wish I had met her sooner, and I wish she had made better choices. I wish the universe would've been kinder to her. I wish she had never crossed paths with some of the people who hurt her so much.
Anyway, that's all. I don't know what I'm gonna do with this page, I think I'll keep it up to preserve her memory. Drowning Jennie is no more, we're going to separate colleges anyway. I want to thank all of you. I want to thank Kelley, Bill, Joanne, Nick, Jamie, Roger, all the bands that played with us, all the bands who hate us, our parents, siblings, everyone who came to our shows and everyone who believed in us.
I advise everyone to be wise and to not be foolish. But enough about that. Keep Ty in your hearts and remember her for the awesome, kickass drummer and friend she was. And if you want to stay in touch with Mitch, Dennis or me, you can add us on our personal pages.
