It is with deep regret and sorrow that we must inform you that we have parted ways as a band for personal reasons.

We thank you for your tireless love and support over the years and encourage you to continue to support the bands we have played with in Sacramento and beyond.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to respond to any messages sent to our MySpace account. We ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time.

Again, we are deeply grateful for all the love you have shown us.

Love, the Ghoulies ^[1]
