For everyone wondering why there hasn't been any news reported on the actual band it is because of some sad news. With heavy hearts we must finally admit that we are taking a long break from the uncle dannies. The need for some of our band mates to finish school, John's desire to scale back commitments to fully concentrate on his public speaking and book, and other personal decisions by the band members the band made the decision to put everything on hold, re-energize, refocus, and hopefully come back to an experience that's enjoyable again. Somehow we lost what made it all fun and worth while.
The site will staying running with news from el dora weekend, the reunion zach and john are planning, from the porch by john, and I'm sure rants by scottie. Please continue to tell people about the site and stop by often, it's been a nice way of keeping in touch with everyone.
We would like to say thanks everyone who ever spent the time to listen to us play, you made the experiences one of the most enjoyable of our lives. Thanks to Zach and Scottie for all the hard work. Ross for opening for us whenever he could, and anybody we are missing. Be on the look out for the from the porch this week, John's counting down his favorite uncle dannies memories. Let's hope the break is more short than long.

take care
the uncledannies kyle, braden, doug, jp
