One Moment Management have sent an update regarding their upcoming plans, including news of Tony Lovato writing new Mest songs for a fall album release.
Tony Lovato (ex-singer of Mest) has a new band named Permanent Holiday and he's being hassled by another band named Permanent Holiday to change the name. Check below to see what Tony's opposition had to say about the issue.
Note: Keep in mind, this is only one side of the story. Also, don't always believe everything you read when it comes to "direct" quotes.
Fan reports in: According to John Feldman of Goldfinger (based on what he said at their show in Petaluma), Matt (bass) of Mest left the band to paint full time, and an old Goldfinger guitarist will be filling in for him on the band's last tour. After the tour, Jeremiah (guitar) is leaving to write screenplays for movies. Nick and Tony will stay together and start a new band.
