A Very Important Announcement
Tue., Oct. 2. 2007 12:59am EDT

Karl from ApologetiX here.

After 15 years and nearly 1000 concerts, I left the band four weeks ago to focus on my family, and I'm planning to pursue other interests. The guys have done a bang-up job playing the last 10 concerts without me, and I'm sure a whole great new chapter is opening for the band.

Bill Hubauer has taken over as lead guitarist and producer, and he's well suited for both roles.  I've told J. many times over the years, "If I ever die or leave the band, get Bill Hubauer to replace me."

The guys eventually plan to add a new guitarist and make it a five-piece band again, but ApologetiX has been a four-piece band for most of its history (including many shows in the last few years), and now they're a four-piece band with guitars AND keyboards.

J. has taken over the booking responsibilities, and he's already booked a number of new concerts you'll be hearing about soon.  If you'd like ApologetiX to include your venue in their 2007-08 schedule, talk to the powers that be and have them go here: http://www.apologetix.com/rockmychurch

As I've turned over all my responsibilities with the band, I've shut down my karl@apologetix.com email address.  I'll leave open my karlmessner@gmail.com for a week or two.

God bless, and thanks for 15 great years!
