Rumors fly like a teradyctal with three toes.

Well there has been much talk about the band 'breaking up,' and the 'final show' this Saturday. There are fliers posted around promoting the show on the 12th, and completely gave the wrong impression. Let me help to clarify things and eliminate any confusion that might be flying around. I would hate to have wonderful people misinformed!

After long thought, Sylvie has decided to leave the band. Maia and I completely support her decision and thank her for her honesty and wish her all the happiness in the world. Sylvie felt she needed to live without the complications of dealing with band issues, and overall live a typical teenage life. Maia and I will both miss her, but can't expect her to completely devote herself to something she doesn't feel for. We had a tremendous amount of surreal achievements and give her complete props for helping us in every way she did. She's an outstanding person and she will forever be engraved in our hearts! 'Sil-V + us = B.F.F'

But with this tremendous loss, we are still able to create and make music. Although it will be hard transitioning with a new drummer, Kievan Rus still remains a band and plans to keep the rock alive. So whenever you hear 'Hey did you hear that Kievan Rus broke up and will never play a song again.' You can say to them 'No! That's faulty!' and walk away knowing you said the right thing. In conclusion, Kievan Rus has not broken up.

If you are at all interested, you can catch our 'Final Show with Sylvie' this Saturday at The Haunt. Check out our calendar for more information.

If you want to catch Kievan Rus at a later date, because your busy on the 12th saving cats from trees, then you should drop by on the 26th. We will be playing at the Chapter House with The Witching and Lotion (Formally We are the Arm). And on top of that you'll be able to meet our newest member Ryan. We have a ton of new material and can't wait to shell it out. So drop on by!

I would like to thank Sylvie for everything and wish her the best. Knowing Vish, she'll probably run off and become some sort of successful entrepreneur and cure cancer. That's what I reckon. We adore you Vish.
