The Loved Ones have written in with a year-end update. To end things with a bang, Michael "Spider" Cotterman has abdicated bass duties for the band after two and a half years of filling that role. The band is currently in the process of finding a replacement.
Starting off the year with their Keep Your Heart tour, Dave Walsh of the Explosion will be filling in on second guitar on the East Coast leg of that tour. There's currently no indication of the inclusion of a second guitarist on the other parts of the tour.
The band released Keep Your Heart earlier this year and has been playing a few new songs on tour, presumably from an upcoming sophomore album.
