OUR STORY...
I think if there is one phrase that summarizes the few years that Air Show Disaster has been around is that things never go as you plan. After several line-up changes right from the start ASD finally found a solid line-up in late 2004 with Jon Long on vocals and guitar, Ian Hartley on guitar and screaming, Jay Ergil on bass and Will Lucca on drums. Shortly after that, the band recorded a 3-song demo and started playing shows regularly around the Bay Area. ASD spent the better part of 2005 playing as many shows as possible and during this time the band had been constantly writing new songs, so we decided it was time to record again. In November we released a S/T EP which we we're getting ready to start promoting by dropping everything and going on tour.
It seemed like it was all falling into place and ASD was gearing up to go on a month long tour, but right about this time things started to fall apart again. There was a growing distance between the band and Will (drums). At first this led to dropping off the tour and eventually, after months of back and forth and punching walls, it led to Will leaving the band. At this point it was pretty questionable whether ASD would continue, seeing as losing so much time and starting over with another drummer would be such a huge blow to what everyone had been working so hard on.
Fortunately we decided to keep playing and find a new drummer. Even more fortunately, and through pretty random coincidence, we ended up with pur friend and drummer from old bands back in high school, Dave Jensen. So in the fall of 2006 ASD started writing new songs with Dave and quickly it became apparent that both in part to having a new drummer and growing musically in the last year that we think we have evolved since the last version of ASD. Even though it meant boxes full of CDs with songs that wouldn't be played anymore it was decided that we would just write a whole new set. It took a lot more time and effort than originally planned on but by that next summer ASD was back to playing shows and has plans to keep doing what they love as long as possible.

heres lyrics to the new songs
Strip malls and cemeteries
Couldnt wait to light this fire
Now we can only watch it burn
Away the pieces holding us together
Through all these years our conciseness
Takes its toll
When we stare at our betrayals
Is this who we are?
Is it what we wished for?
Theres is a bullet in our wings angel
And we just learned to fly
Now we fall to fragile arms
I only wish
There was a better way down
Sometimes things do change
We long for something more
Cant you see it in these eyes?
Like a ghost who just found out he killed himself
Always searching for someone who understands
But I hope these words suffice
Cant we leave some things behind?
Theres a bullet in our wings angel
And we just learned to fly
Now we fall to fragile arms
I only wish
There was a better way down
Can we find the strength to change?
This isnt me
You know that I always said
This isnt me
This is the greatest battle
Our hearts ever did fight
Ill fail you Im not perfect
Just hope these actions live up to my words now
Explosions in slow motion
Let go, let go
Somehow we lost control
If we really meant it
Would our lips ever know?
Never thought Id still be here
I keep saying that Im leaving
I guess it wont be soon
Another year
Ill try and write an ending
Seems like it never sits well with an audience
Cause I just cant follow through
One more I can let this go
So hold me close\\
As the lines are drawn so perfectly
How could we forget?
In time
What it meant
In this desperation
We never see the end
But theres something to be said
For those who hold on
I only wish I knew
Let go, let go
Somehow we lost control
If we really meant it
Would our lips ever know?
This is one to many secrets
And thats just not me
I can swim to the surface
I hope that youre there
Ill be the one breathing to hard
To catch my breath
This is the last time
I scream is this who we are
This is the last time
I wish it any other way

Not that anyone actually goes to sites other than myspace anymore but I thought I might as well post some news up here since its been such a long time, probably cause i didn't know if we were still going to be a band anymore for the last few months. The reason being since january our contact with Will(our drummer at the time) went from not very often to pretty much non-existent. We had to cancel a few shows and bail out on a tour that we should be on right now because of it. We all really wanted to keep that line-up together and I think we just pro-longed the inevitable for way too long, but finally we did end up parting ways with him and had the intent of taking some time off the band to work on other projects because all that drama was really stressfull and kind of killed our momentum.
Thankfully we decided that was a stupid idea and decided to find a new drummer. We really didn't want to go through the ordeal of trying tons of people out, but it just so happened the drummer we all used to play with in high school was back in town and wanted to play, so we got lucky on that one. We jamed once and it all felt right so now we are working on some sweet new songs and hopefully we'll be playing shows again this summer.
