Lydia Guitarist Announces Departure

Guitarist Steve McGraw has announced his departure from Lydia and will not be taking part on the bands farewell tour later this year.

McGraw stated:

"It is from a place of deep regret and rue I write these words, awash in disbelief and distant reflection, but friends, I must announce my immediate departure from Lydia. Do not fret! Lydia is still coming to a town near you, and I am knee deep in completing my new band’s debut LP. Irreconcilable differences between myself and remaining original members have resulted in thick tension at rehearsals. It was finally too small for the both of us, and someone had to go. I will miss performing these songs one more time in every city but ultimately my departure from the tour is the best for all involved, including you fans. There is not a show nor record nor demo nor chat with a fan I do not look back upon with only the fondest of memories, our fans truly are unique and I will continue to deliver the ear candy, always, forever and most importantly, VERY SOON. Until then, take care, go see Lydia, and keep your ears to the stars for signs of where I’ll be next.

“On the Eighth Ring of Saturn the Evil in your Hands will be Weighed against the Intentions of your Heart. You should only be so lucky to leave The Codone Universe, lest you be Doomed to Float all Time.”
