COHEED AND CAMBRIA: PART WAYS WITH BASSIST MIC TODD



Hudson Valley Area, New York hard rockers COHEED and CAMBRIA have announced the band has officially parted ways with bassist Michael Todd. Michael Todd was arrested last month after robbing a Walgreens drug store of 6 bottles of Ocycotin right before COHEED and CAMBRIA's show (on tour) with SOUNDGARDEN in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Todd posted $25,000 bail as his case is still pending.
FROM COHEED AND CAMBRIA:


"After a lot of thought, introspection and discussion, COHEED AND CAMBRIA will be continuing our journey without bassist Michael Todd. We have spoken to him and this is a mutual decision between both parties. Michael was a great contributor; our hearts go out to his family and to all those who appreciate his talents. We wish him nothing but the very best.

"We are currently writing and recording songs for a new album, as well as a couple compilations this fall. We are very excited about how the songs are shaping up and can’t wait to share them with you.

"We'd like to thank Wes Styles for filling in for the live gigs in the interim, including the upcoming South America and Mexico shows. A belated thanks to Rob Gill for covering in Boston; and the biggest thank you to all of you for your unwavering support.

"A new chapter awaits."
