ATHEIST Drummer Welcomes Addition To Family

July 8, 2006

Congratulations are in order for ATHEIST drummer Steve Flynn and his wife Susan on the birth of their baby girl Anna on July 4, 2006.

Commented Steve: "Thanks everybody!!! I really appreciate your thoughts. I was just hoping beyond hope that she arrived before we had to leave for Bloodstock next Wednesday.... not to mention getting in a few more rehearsals. So far, it has worked out better than I could have scripted it. Now I can focus on drums....for a while there it was a little hectic.

"Thanks again!!!! I'll post a picture of her soon....though...for those of you who have seen a brand, new, new-born baby....they all look like aliens....just cuter...

"Her name is Anna (named after my great grandmother)."

As previously reported, ATHEIST guitarist Rand Burkey was forced to bow out of the band's forthcoming festival performances due to legal troubles. Filling in for Burkey on the upcoming reunion shows will be veteran guitarist Chris Baker. Baker will be joining core ATHEIST members Kelly Shaefer (vocals),Tony Choy (bass),and Steve Flynn (drums) as well as guitarist Sonny Carson (who will be playing Shaefer's guitar role due to Shaefer's long-running battles with tendonitis and carpal tunnel). Baker and Carson are currently playing with Steve Flynn's new band GNOSTIC.
