Well, the time has finally come. The time to call it quits. I want to thank everyone who has pressed a fingerprint into this site since `05. And for those who constantly visit hoping to see an update or news of some sort. Just know I tried my hardest to make this site something bigger and better than what it became. It’s unfortunate to end on such a low note, but if you see from the homepage I haven’t posted anything legit in months really. I tried to bridge the band and fans closer together, but I’m not sure it worked. I’m super proud of what I’ve accomplished with the site, but at the same time I can’t help but think its been a big waste of time and money.

I have to thank Fazzi and Mark for being so generous and caring enough to help out when they could.

The site will remain up until Nov. so grab all the photos and media you want while its available.

thanks again.

Happy Birthday Mark O`Connell

Mark turns 29 today. Its late in the day, I know, but I couldn’t not have a post dedicated to this fine gent. Mark was the first member to ever reach out to me and to ever do anything for the site. For that I am forever grateful. And convinced me to keep the site running (although im not sure how active the site will be come summer and beyond). So when you see him at a show, thank him with a hug and maybe some meth or maybe just a story about meth.

“And it’s all too familiar…”

Matt Rubano & Fazzi leave TBS

“After seven years I’m sad to announce that I will no longer be playing the bass with Taking Back Sunday. I would like to thank Adam, Eddie and Mark for giving me this amazing opportunity that changed my life. I am proud of the music we made together and cherished every moment of it. And to Taking Back Sunday fans, there isn’t anything I can say that will express the way I feel toward you. It’s literally been a dream come true and you were the cast of that dream. I am happy to have met and befriended so many of you. I will miss you all.”
-Rubano

“To everyone in the TBS family, it is with great sadness I am announcing today that I am no longer a part of Taking Back Sunday. The last 2 years with Taking Back Sunday have been beyond a dream come true, from touring and playing with bands that I really admire, to playing new places all around the world, to meeting and working with so many wonderful people along the way. It’s something that I never once took for granted and that I will never forget. I want to thank Eddie, Matt, Adam and Mark for giving me the chance to play and make music with them, if even for a short while. We’ve accomplished a lot in a short time that I will forever be proud of. Thanks to everyone involved for making this such a beautiful experience for me, especially YOU, the fans. You have been so warm and receptive to me since I joined and for this I am forever grateful. As for me, I will continue on with my own music and I hope to see some of your smiling faces around soon.

With all my love,
Matthew Fazzi”

Thank you for your years, tears and sacrifices gentlemen.

You can still follow them on twitter @ MatthewRubano & MattFazzi

Notes about the interview:
it was done on skype but the video wouldnt work so its only audio. Audio is kinda choppy at times.

Huge thanks to Mark for doing this. Hope you all enjoy it.

where oh where is Winter Passing?

nick — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 18:33:39 +0000

Dear TBS,

~~all we want for ChristmasNew Years is “Winter Passing”~~

don’t disappoint.

we all have a dream. one thats usually out of reach. impossible to control. so, in honor of MLK Day, we all share the same dream here. to hear Winter Passing. in its entirety. in its natural state of high quality. this dream could be a short distance away. a few clicks away as a matter of fact.
its 2010, lets get off to the right foot sooner than later.

sincerely,
-fans

EDIT (Jan 9th): ok we have some kind of acknowledgement and a promise, thanks in part to Michelle (idontlimbo) and Amanda (amandaxxbear)…

EDIT #2 (Feb 12th): Winter Passing officially released

Yesterday marked the 4th year that TBSUnion has been around. crazy! I renewed it for another year, but I honestly don’t see myself updating it that much anymore. It’s kind of hard anyways when the band barely releases content themselves.

Big thanks to all who still care to visit and post.

I guess we’ll see what happens…
