Doors are at 7PM, show starts at 8, only $12 at the door to see Lestat, Petals and Thorns, Man-009 and Genius Loci.

We couldn&rsquo;t be more proud of our accomplishments since reforming in 2010, and we&rsquo;ve met so many great people over the past few years. There are many reasons for this decision, but they all boil down to our inability to sustain the band in the current DIY state of the music industry. There will be a farewell show in our hometown of Cleveland, Ohio in the near future. Stay tuned for further details. No one knows what the future holds for us musically, and our friendships will stay strong eternally. Thank you to all who supported us. We are forever grateful.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Merchandise Sale!</title><id>http://lestatmusic.com/news/2014/8/19/merchandise-sale.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://lestatmusic.com/news/2014/8/19/merchandise-sale.html"/><author><name>Lestat</name></author><published>2014-08-19T12:51:31Z</published><updated>2014-08-19T12:51:31Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>MERCH SALE!

Unfortunately, we did not meet our goal, and so Lestat has decided to put the box set on the shelf FOR NOW. Please do not think we have abandoned our efforts to getting this out to the public.</p>
<p>Our priority is now the new release, which we have gotten very deep into writing, and expect to see in fall/winter of 2014. In the meantime, we will continue to explore options for "Prelude", including new production companies and cheaper ways to do the project.</p>
<p>Again, thank you all for your support, and watch this space for future news regarding the set.</p><p><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/></p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Kickstarter campaign for "Prelude" #2 - 19%!</title><id>http://lestatmusic.com/news/2014/3/27/kickstarter-campaign-for-prelude-2-19.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://lestatmusic.com/news/2014/3/27/kickstarter-campaign-for-prelude-2-19.html"/><author><name>Lestat</name></author><published>2014-03-27T14:42:53Z</published><updated>2014-03-27T14:42:53Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>Greetings, all! Hope this finds you well.</p>
<p>Video production for the DVD has begun in earnest. Only one interview left to go with one of the founding members of the band, Richard, and we will have all the source material gathered! Interviews have already been completed with Jess, Susan, Timothy and Peter. Some great memories and stories were captured and we can't wait to share them all with you. The DVD should be fully ready to print by this time next week.</p>
<p>The campaign currently sits at 19%, so we still have a ways to go to fully fund the project. Anything you can do to spread the word will help a great deal, so thank you in advance!</p>
