Hit the jump to read statements from Steve Choi and Chris Tsagakis
Steve Choi:
“The outpouring of love and support after we announced our decision to have this summer be our last has been overwhelming. To say it is touching would be a serious understatement.
Any artist’s creative path is greater than any one entity or any body of work, which also includes a musical entity such as a band. We in RX have always strived to do something extraordinary, and have worked and fought very hard over the years to clear a path for us to do so. Together with our really amazing and loyal fans we have carved out our own space in the music world where we all participated in something really special, void of trends, hype, and motives outside of making good and honest music; It was so cool being uncool together. We always managed to avoid the mainstream, but you all made us feel like the biggest band in the world, and for that I thank you.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you”
S. Choi RXB.
Chris Tsagakis:
Hello, I would like to address some of the comments posted by all of you, most of which are positive and supportive, but some which are strange, sad and even scary.
RX Bandits are not DEAD, we are all ALIVE and we all will continue making music and art in many different forms. Those of you who know our music and know what were about, know that we live, breathe, eat, sleep, and dream MUSIC. This is not the end of our musical endeavors by a long shot.
Of course I wont say that anything we do will replace RXB, but we are artists at heart, artists are constantly changing and are free to change when ever they feel like exploring new worlds. And we would love for all of you to explore these worlds with us.To those of you who have posted positive comments: THANK YOU!
To those who have posted negative, bleak, and otherwise morbid comments: THANK YOU TOO….but please! Lets look to the future, lets grow together, lets continue to build a positive world through music!
And to EVERYONE: Lets celebrate this summer everything RXB stands for- Peace, creativity, love and music.
-Chris Tsagakis
