On behalf of Presley, I would like to announce that we will no longer continue as a working band. This is an amicable split and we hope to get one more show in this spring or summer if we can.

With some possible big changes in the future for Christian and Breaux outside of the band we have decided to end the band. We haven't been able to get over the plateau reached with the recording of The Mansion in 2007 and figured we've done everything we can do with whatever it is we do.

Thanks for your support, and there will be a follow up message as soon as we know about a last show. The Presley Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/presley page will still remain.

If you would like an mp3 zip file of The Mansion, please send us a message.


- Aarne

PS - in the meantime check out Breaux and Aarne's new band Who Carries The Lanternhttp://www.myspace.com/whocarriesthelantern

Ah, that's a shame, always dug you guys...

Was hoping to get Presley on the bill with Black Pyramid and Sin Of Angels in August. Lame.



toggletoggle post by badsneakers at Apr 29,2009 12:52pm
Ah I wish we could but I'm away. We do want to do one last show though



toggletoggle post by RichHorror  at Apr 29,2009 12:54pm
Cancel your life for doom.



toggletoggle post by Eyehatehippies  at Apr 29,2009 12:56pm
Yeah, would have been nice to have played the last Presley show...



toggletoggle post by badsneakers at Apr 29,2009 12:59pm
Ha! Yeah that show would be sick for a last one..can't do it though!
I'd like a last show with black pyramid, ichabod and one other!

9 years is pretty amazing, though.



toggletoggle post by badsneakers at Apr 29,2009 1:55pm
Yeah that's pretty long! We didn't play any shows for almost two years after we formed



toggletoggle post by josh_hates_you  at Apr 29,2009 2:36pm
you where a local band for 9 years and this is the first i have heard of you? good job.



toggletoggle post by badsneakers at Apr 29,2009 3:24pm
Awe.. I'm sorry buddy I guess you weren't paying attention

His loss. The Mansion is a great album.

I would book such a show.

i saw presley at the middle east once. i enjoyed their set. good honest rock n' roll with well-written songs. there aren't enough bands like that around here. good luck to you guys in your future pursuits.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Apr 29,2009 3:59pm
I would not describe presley like that at all... you sure you are thinking of the right band?



toggletoggle post by RichHorror  at Apr 29,2009 4:15pm
haha yeah. Way more atmospheric and experimental.



toggletoggle post by dreadkill  at Apr 29,2009 4:17pm
maybe it was a different band on the same bill that night with presley.



toggletoggle post by RichHorror  at Apr 29,2009 4:19pm
You're stupid and I hate you.

Yeah I don't know I wouldn't say that sounds like us but there was one time at the mideastup, end of 03 maybe o4 that we decided to play a "normal" set of songs no long crazy improv just the songs as they appear on an album so that would have been more rock like in the vein of Hum.

Rich I'll PM you, I'd love to set up a last show



toggletoggle post by Rickless at Apr 29,2009 8:10pm
wow, what straight up butt shit. that's really unfortunate. you cats were the first to be really supportive of us w/ hoof. it's too bad we only got to play like two shows together. now that we're both defunct it seems quite unlikely of ever happening again.



toggletoggle post by badsneakers at Apr 30,2009 8:23am
Yeah I loved hoof! I didn't even know you guys broke up until recently when breaux ran into jay a t a bar in beverly. I wish we played more shows together..you start anything new?

Do it, we'd be down, I'm sure Ichabod would as well if there was a date we could all agree on.

As long as it's late in the summer. We have 2 shows at Obriens in May.
Sucks to see you go.




toggletoggle post by W3 nli at Apr 30,2009 2:05pm
so is this the august show at OBs Rich or something completely different

What about July? I can't do August because I already have Black Pyramid with Sin Of Angels that month.



toggletoggle post by badsneakers at Apr 30,2009 5:48pm
Presley is down...



toggletoggle post by Rickless at Apr 30,2009 6:37pm
Yeah, we're trying to start over from scratch, and write songs, and structures, but my heart just isn't in it. the improvisations just got really stale and started going nowhere. I think things just kind of dissolved after last summer, the end of the band is really due to self fulfilling prophecies after jay's brother got sick, and I got married and bought a house. sad. just sad.

I'm dying to do something else, anything.

Yeah, we're down for getting patriotic on the 4th. In for the kill.
