California Breed, the band initially consisting of bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes, guitarist and vocalist Andrew Watt, and drummer Jason Bonham and then Bonhams’s subsequently replaced by Joey Castillo, have posted the following message on their Facebook page:
“The band is over…what a logo though right?”
Andrew Watt elaborated further on the situation by saying, “To the California Breed fans here…I put everything I had into this band…all I can say is I was in it for the long hall…I have a lot of new music for you guys…going to be announcing my plans soon…I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you supporting us, buying our music, coming to our shows…this is not the end…it is truly the beginning…cannot wait to continue the quest to bring rock n roll back to the people that are hungry for it…what an amazing learning experience for me here and introduction to an amazing world of people and fans that share love for the same thing.”

Wow, I guess the rumor was true. Time for Glen to move on to the next super group. He can still sing his ass off though.
That sucks, I was really hoping for a new California Breed record.
Off topic, but check out Pope Francis and one of his cardinals throwing \m/ horns \m/.

Gotta love it, keep rockin’ Pope Francis!
I tried to get into that CD and it really didn’t click with me. It very difficult for bands like this to get going. Their major audience is 40 and over at this point, same with many of the bands from the 70’s and 80’s. Even with them touring there was little to no buzz about the band or music. People seem to be more interested in watching nostalgia acts than actual new music, which is probably why Bonham is still doing the Zep shows and playing with Hagar. It’s a paycheck and he gets to play the drums. I don’t blame him. It’s why Journey tours with Arnel, Yes tours with a soundalike, and now Queensryche as well. Rock and metal came from the youth, and it still is, it’s just when you get old, you don’t want to admit it.
I always thought it was Joe B. that was prick in Black Country….guess there were two.
