Aloha punkrockers!! I am very sorry to say that my days in VOAG are over!! I have had the best of times together with my dear bandmates!! I simply just don't have the energy that it takes anymore, I am too old!! I wanna take this opportunity to thank the band, the crew and all other people that have been so great to me all these years!! Thanks you!!
