The Dilaudids are no more. Our last show was Halloween of 2000. Singer Pat Nowhere

is on the West Coast, keeping one step ahead of the law (I hope). Kevin and I are playing,

respectively, bass and guitar in The Freeze and I'm also playing bass for Ghoul Squad. I'm

not sure I mind the end of The Dilaudids...the last few show were very cool but with problems

with venues and law enforcement it gets kinda ridiculous. The 4 songs we did in the studio came out

horrible...Kevin wants to mix it down but I'd rather let it die. We started out half a decade ago playing

hardcore punk as we knew it and the songs fit where we were in life at the time...Pat and I were full

blown junkies, guitarist at the time Mike Tupper was on his way besides being a alcoholic and basically

crazy...Kevin was, well we'll just say Kevin was on the wrong side of the law. In the years since I've

done a few years in prison, Kevin and Pat have both done some time themselves, Mike moved to

Arizona to open a tatoo studio, our new bassist Damien joined when I switched back to guitar after

Mike left and quickly found himself in jail soon after. I've cleaned up my life...I don't use drugs anymore

and that's the main reason I'm happy that this band is done. I'm not in the same place I was when most of

these songs came about. To all the people who were at some of our shows and had fun: I'm glad. We had

fun too. It's just time to move on.
