Picture by Daniel Baggerman

"After 4 years playing with The May Bees, I have decided to move on. I would like to thank everyone who supported us thru this years and a very special thanks goes to Gregory, from whom I learned so much and who has always shown so much patience and understanding.

I wish the band all the best and luck in the world!"

DEAL WITH WAMPUS

"A raging two-headed monster of an indie band, calling to mind Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, Guided By Voices, Sonic Youth, Grandaddy, and Pedro the Lion, delivering apocalyptic rock-club thrash with a maple-syrup coating, we stand up and take notice. We think you will, too." ~ Wampus Multimedia.
