Expect Band Personel Changes Soon
I can't define "soon". But the band is unlikely to remain a quartet for long. No comment as to whether it will be a familiar name or a new person.

With all good news comes the bad - while last night's show was totally awesome and I think Damo, Shane, Tomo and Joel were incredibly tight I did get bad news at the end of the show.
I met up with one of the tapers who said he was tight with the guys on the board - he unequivocally stated that Vyv is out of the band and that they are just not talking about it. Then - if you saw my post on gigs - we met up with damo at the front of the palace after the show - while he was with Shane and Joel, Tomo was absent - also toward the end of the show you got the sense that damo was interacting much more with Joel than tomo and shane - maybe that is coming up because of this chatter. |

but it'd seem he be moving more from the mellow sound to the whinier rock sound. That I dont like. I mean i can't imagine him getting a new celloist or female vocalist and i assume Cora (temporary member?) has left aswell?

I was actually wondering whether he would try and get a new female vocalist. The songs definitely won't be the same without the cello. The beauty of his music is that he uses real strings I wouldn't want him to miss that. He's Damien Rice not Radiohead, though I do like Radiohead as well.

as far as i can make out, Cora is just a mate (of Vyv's primarily) who plays with them when theyre in the UK. she is a classical artist first and foremost and the amount of practice she has to do everyday would hardly tie in well with touring full-time. i for one would like to see more of Cora, here and Vyv together produce a very powerful sound that suits Damo's music perfectly. |

I don't get why you would even bring it up if you're not going to divulge any actual information. It feels as though you're just flaunting that you know someone close to the band. Great. Cool. Neat. But you know how message boards get. Its going to turn into a whining rumor mill about how so and so can't leave or else bad things will happen and they'll never want to go to another show again. Why not just wait for the information to come out?
Also, why is everyone so closed minded? You never know what good could come of this. Vyv and Lisa could both have amazing solo careers and Damien could get a whole new band and go in another great direction. Wait and see. . . |

2. Because i happened to run into a taper I had been texting and he told me this I am flaunting some relationship? That makes absolutely no sense to me 3. But if you want me to flaunt how about - again - Damo came straight out the front door of the Palace and my wife and I chatted with him for approx 10 minutes - now that was awesome!!! 4. i have stated over and over that the show last night was awesome so I don't see making any judgements about anything - again I was just reporting what I heard - and if you look at Mario's post he is suggesting even bigger changes are underway. I recommend relaxing - to your wait and see point I definitely agree..... |

I was referring to Mario's post.
I think its great that you met Damien. I wish I would have met Damien at some point and saying what you two talked about is fine with me as well. I just don't get why some people like to say, "I know something you don't know but I can't tell you yet." |

I have to say that Vyv's leaving is a real surprise for me. i felt that recently cello has become more prominent than before as a musical character in those songs, and she has put more into the songs too. i will miss the cello sound definitely. Good luck Vyv, Montreal has you in fond memory...oh may be she is just tired and needs a break from intensive touring.

hearing vyv's solo material, makes me think "wtf are u thinking!" lol... i have no interrest in it my self, it's plain, dull, and just not my type... she doesn't exactly appear to have a strong voice either.... if she does go solo, i think she'll definetly struggle... but i hope it doesn't ever come to that :P

You know, if there was to be no more cello, I would miss it SO much more than lisa's vocals. After seeing the hammersmith gig, I realised he doesn't NEED a second vocalist, whilst Lisa did sound glorious. However, without a cello part (I couldn't give a crap who played it) I think it the music would really lose somehting special. Mind you, I said the same about Lisa's departing until I actually saw a live show without her. Who knows. We just have to accept whatever happens happens.
