Can't say I'm big on this band myself.

One Last Time, Lose Your Minds. | The Fall Of Troy

Dearest friends from all corners of the world,

I write to inform you that after nearly 9 years, 5 full-lengths, 2 bass players, hundreds of shows, and numerous other achievements and follies, Andrew, Frank, and I have decided to end our career as The Fall of Troy.

This band has been my life, my love, the air I breathe, the food I eat, and what helps me sleep (and sometimes keeps me up) at night. I love and cherish the music we’ve made, the times we’ve had, and all the great friends we’ve met along the way. Andrew, Frank, and of course Tim, will always and forever have a special place in my heart. But it has come time for us to call it a day. After everything’s said and done, there is no drama, there is no blow out, it’s simply the three members of this band are on three different paths in our lives.

I always hold true to the fact that it’s better to go out in style, to ride off into the sunset, than go down in flames. This tour coming up with Envy On The Coast and Twin Atlantic will be our last go round, and we really hope that all of you will come out and celebrate what has been so unreal and unbelievable – let’s dance one last time!

We would really like to thank everyone that’s ever been involved with the band, managed the band, booked a show for us, let us eat your canned food, sleep on your floor, asked us for a picture, caught me when I’ve almost been dropped, put out a record for us, driven us through a late night drive thru, or anything else any of you could possibly look back on and enjoy what this band was…Fun.

So make sure you come out to “The Marked-Men of 2010 Tour” as it will be our last hurrah! We love you, and will be giving as much love as you’ve given to us at these shows. So that’s that! We love you with all our hearts, thank you from the very bottom of them, and goodbye comrades.

R.I.P.
TFOT
2002-2010

With A Heavy Heart,
Thomas Joseph Erak

PS. I have no intention to stop making music! Quite the opposite actually – but until then see you at the shows!

That's too bad, but I'm interested to see what Erak (and the other members) decide to do outside of The Fall Of Troy.

Thomas is going to become a Jack Johnson-type singer-songwriter, Andrew is going to drum for a jazz-fusion band, and Frank is going to go back to pimping

Thats so fucky. I HAVE to make the trip over the Vancouver to see the show in March.

Thrice · 03-09-2010, 10:28 PM

They broke up when Tim Ward left the band to me. Im over it. Lets see what funky **** comes out of this. Im kind of hyped, it was gettin played out to me.

Laces Out Dan! · 03-09-2010, 10:33 PM

Yeaa, I have fallen in love with a good bunch of the new album though. I was pretty broken when Tim left though.

But, Ive got my tickets for the show April 1st. Ive never seen them, and if I never got to see them, I couldnt forgive myself.

khfreek · 03-10-2010, 02:19 PM

Psyched for the show in Nashville tonight! Going with RageAgainstTheMachine and seeing gunnels there!

Laces Out Dan! · 03-10-2010, 05:32 PM

Fuckin eh man. Let me know how it was and how the setlist was.

Fucking amazing.

(not in exact order, except first and last)
Rockstar Nailbomb
The Circus That Has Brought Us Back to These Nights (Yo Chocola)
Mouths Like Sidewinder Missiles
F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X.
Whacko Jacko
I Just Got This Symphony Goin'
Single
Dirty Pillow Talk
Semi-Fiction
Ex-Creations
Caught Up
What Sound Does a Mastodon Make?/Nature vs. Nurture mix (you can see what I mean, it's on Youtube)

RageAgainstTheMachine fucking caught Thomas's pick during Ex-Creations. I don't know if JD left early or what, I didn't see him during TFOT's set or after the show, just at the start. THEY PLAYED YO CHOCOLA! The one song I would kill to hear them play, and I hear it at my first, and last TFOT show. Dawkins bless those guys.

EDIT: I forgot that they played your favorite song, Laces... Laces out, Dan!
