Monday November 17th George layed off!!!!!!
Has George become a victim of the economic crisis? Rumors surrounding the band after George's failure to appear at Maxwell's in October has prompted many to believe that George has been granted a severance package with the Flu having to make several necessary cuts to stay afloat. Founding member Gobshite has denied these stories stating that although many consider it luxury to have two vocalists, George has always been a luxury so why are things different now? George has not been returning phone calls or emails.
