well everyone ...this is the message i hoped i'd never hafta write ...Justin will always be our good friend and our close brother ...but he has decided not to return to the band. The Ground Beneath will go on as we always do. all our july shows are covered by our friends from Old Man Shattered and Requiem Mass and we hope to have a permanent drummer found by aug. no shows are cancelling. no one is mad. its just an unfortunate situation to be in right now. we are glad our brother has found his way out of some dark times and definitely wish him the best. he will probably post a message to you all sometime this week on our site. see you saturday at the launchpad. steve & chris

TGB will be Unplugged tonight so don't miss it!

hey everyone ...i have some good news ...w/a small side sauce of bad news ...Justin Florez is finally home and alive and well ...we talked for a while today and he has really changed while he has been away ...definitely for the better. he is still the drummer of The Ground Beneath. TGB future plans 100% include him as the drummer of this band as he has been. however, he needs some time and space away from it all for at least a couple of weeks. he needs to adjust back to a normal life. we totally support this decision and will continue w/the shows we have booked w/either Dax Lujan of Requiem Mass or Jesse McDermott of Old Man Shattered on drums depending on which night. these are only temporary fill ins. The return of Justin show will be here before you know it. we just dont when just yet. -- s

Justin came back to us today ...i cant tell you how exicting it was to have all 3 of us in the same room again after 42 days -- s

ok kids! heres the new stuff! the new album is available everywhere tomorrow Sunday June 17! im talkin Amazon.com, CdBaby.com, DigStation.com, all the Hastings locations in Albuquerque and a whole lot more! oh yeah and of course ...the CD RELEASE SHOW AT THE LAUNCHPAD! also! http://www.thegroundbeneath.com has been redesigned by Steve and Chris today and all the press articles from this week have been posted there as well! go check it out! tell us whatcha think in the guestbook! -- s

hey everyone ...a lot of you were really excited w/us that TGB was opening for WASP at the Sunshine Theater in July but today they cancelled their entire tour ...i will say this though ...the drummer of WASP sent us a message on MySpace and assured us that they would be back to Abq and we were sure welcome to open for them at that time ...cool guy! -- s

hey everyone! we made it back from the road just fine ...and i just
finished posting new pics from the last 3 months on
www.thegroundbeneath.com and some road videos on our
www.myspace.com/thegroundbeneath ...so check em out and get pumped
