So remember when we said that we were off to a crazy start to the year? We weren't kidding! We have decided to end this band. Mud River is done. We are forming something new, and trust me, it is going to be worth the wait. We've spent the last month or so waiting for the gods of Rock and Roll to bless us, and they have. That said, things have changed and we can no longer in good conscience continue as Mud River. Lineup changes and musical changes in the band have led us to forming a new band. We no longer sound like our first album, and as much as we love the album, we are happy with that. For those of you that have came out to our last few shows, you have had a taste of what's coming next. Only a taste though! We have to thank all of our friends who have came out to support us, and have fun at our shows. It meant a lot to us, and made the shows fun for us too! We are looking forward to the future. See you all very soon. Stay tuned.... we'll let you know on this page when it's time to rock again! Things are getting very exciting around here!Ragged but right,
