: For the first time in Two Man history, one of our teammates has decided to hang up his skates and go into retirement. Founding member/bass player/defensemen Teemu Heineken has decided that now is the time to ride off into the sunset, and be the first player ever inducted into the Two Man Hall of Fame. Teemu will be missed greatly by teammates & fans alike. Snapshot, our "fill in" bass player for the summer tour, has decided to take up the bass player/defensemen role in a permanent way -- so we welcome Snapshot as the newest member of Two Man Advantage.
---full email --
It's been a long, long time since you've all received a message from us - so there are a few things that we want to tell you about.
First -- thanks to everyone all over the U.S. for making our summer tour an absolute blast. It was a month we'll never forget. We hope to see everyone again at some point in the future.
Second -- we have a new e-mail address. You can still send stuff to the captain2man@yahoo.com address -- but we now have an e-mail address specifically for Two Man stuff - and it is, simply enough -- TwoManAdvantage@yahoo.com.
Third -- Listbot is closing down all of their free services. So, this will probably be the last message you receive from us through this service. For now, we'll be doing this list the old-fashioned way, but at some point, we'll probably get a new service, and you'll all receive a new invitation to join. Sorry for being such a pain in the ass.
Fourth -- next show is this coming Sunday, August 5th at Tompkins Square Park in New York City. Tompkins Square Park is located between 7th & 10th Streets, between Avenues A & B. Best way to get there by subway is to take the L to the First Ave. stop. I believe the show will be at the south-end of the park. It's free, all-ages, and starts around 2 p.m. Other bands playing will be Third Grade Level (first show), IN-DK, Leftover Crack, and MDC, among several others (sorry, I don't have the complete listing).
Last, but definitely not least -- for the first time in Two Man history, one of our teammates has decided to hang up his skates and go into retirement. Founding member/bass player/defensemen Teemu Heineken has decided that now is the time to ride off into the sunset, and be the first player ever inducted into the Two Man Hall of Fame. Teemu will be missed greatly by teammates & fans alike. Snapshot, our "fill in" bass player for the summer tour, has decided to take up the bass player/defensemen role in a permanent way -- so we welcome Snapshot as the newest member of Two Man Advantage.
Teemu will be playing 3 final shows with the band: the August 5th show at Tompkins Square Park, the August 27th Sweet 16 party, and the September 8th show at the Continental.
We'll leave you with Teemu's final goodbye……see ya on the ice!
"Well fans of the Two Man, the time has come for this old timer to retire. It's been a tough decision for me, but I feel I can finally walk away from this and have no regrets. I would like to thank all of those who have supported this band from the beginning and I wish my teammates all the luck in the world.
I will never forget the past four years, its been a lot of fun and I know that I will miss my friends dearly. I am not on the current tour and I miss my friends everyday, however, I don't miss being in the band. There are too many reasons why I am stepping aside, but the main reason is my family. I no longer have the desire to tour, go on the road for weekends or even to write songs for that matter.
To my teamates: I will always cherish all the days we had together, its been one of the most fulfilling projects I have ever been involved with and I love you all.
I will play 3 last shows though, August 5th in NYC at Tompkins Square Park, August 27th will be my last show on Long Island at Ashley's Sweet 16, and my last show for good will be on September 8th in NYC at the Continental.
I thank all of you who have been with us from the beginning and even those who are new to the Two Man. It's time for this old timer to ride off into the sunset and never to be heard from again, kind of like Keyser Soze………….."
