Former PITCHSHIFTER Bassist Quits THE BLUEPRINT

November 10, 2003

Former PITCHSHIFTER bassist Mark Clayden will be leaving THE BLUEPRINT following the group's Nov. 29 gig at the Garage in London.

Says Mark: "Although I will be playing bass on the upcoming BLUEPRINT album, my personal commitments are such that I don1t feel I would be able to give the 100% commitment THE BLUEPRINT deserves. I feel it's better for me to bow out on a high note and let the band continue with their success. I would like to thank the band and the fans for their continuing support, and to let them know that I have had a truly amazing time with THE BLUEPRINT. I feel lucky to have been a part of such an awesome family."

THE BLUEPRINT guitarist Matt Grundy added: "It's really gutting for us to see Mark go, but he has other things to move on to, and we wish him the best of luck for the future. Mark and I started this band together, and I'll always consider him a part of it, because it couldn't have happened without him. We'd all like to thank him for great times we've spent together, and the massive effort he has put into THE BLUEPRINT."

Clayden's replacement in THE BLUEPRINT will be CONSUMED bassist/ARMY OF FLYING ROBOTS drummer Luke Moss: "Rehearsals with Luke have been really cool so far," says Grundy. "He's a great musician, and it's awesome to have him in the band."

THE BLUEPRINT are currently writing material for their debut album, "Phenomenology", tentatively due in early 2004.
