    NEW LINE UP - SPRING 08
    Current mood: excited
    Category: Music
    Hello everyone
    Hope you all are enjoying these early days of spring.
    Around this time last year, we were on the road (as we
    were for much of last year) But lately, Its been quiet
    around here and im sure many of you have heard rumors
    of sorts or at one point wondered what we are up to...
    so i thought it was time to set things straight with a
    long, overdue update.
    Some of you have undoubtedly heard by now, that we are
    no longer working with our long time singer and good
    friend Chris Paul. He was a long time band member,
    performing in the various incarnations of what most of
    you now know as Opus Däi. He is an amazing artist,
    performer, vocalist and friend and we wish him all the
    best in whatever direction he is headed. Similarly, we
    have also parted ways with former bassist Ryan
    Collier, and also wish him all the success in all
    his endeavors.

    So, "what next" you may ask? Well, despite the
    apparent setbacks, we have managed to continue forward
    and im eager to share with you a new set of songs AND
    a new singer! Its my pleasure to introduce Tim
    Neighbors as the new voice of Opus Dai, bringing with
    him a much needed breath of fresh air that im sure
    will translate into the material. Also playing bass
    for the time being is Merlyn Kelly, a long time friend
    and amazing musician. As you can imagine, this will be
    a new chapter for us as well as for all of you who
    have been keeping up with our musical strides over the
    years. So please stay tuned as we will be posting
    blogs and info and... yes, eventually a new song or
    two
    Thanx again so much for all of your collective support
    over the years. Its been a long journey and in many
    ways, we've only just begun, so thanx again. I'm
    excited to see you all very, very soon when we are
    ready to play shows!!

    ~Jagger / Opus Däi


    It is a shame, the singer is what drew me to the band.

    We'll fuck standing and we'll fuck then lying, if they had wings we'll fuck them flying, when they are dead and long forgotten we'll dig them up and fuck them rotten.

    Just saw this today too and it's been bumming the hell outta me!!! Guess I'm glad I got to see 'em at least once, and they even played their whole debut LP that night. Wonder if he'll do anything else now?
    We'll see if I stick around for more Opus Dai with the new guy on the mic.

    Seven. One to change it, five to complain that the old one was better, and one talk about Gavins weight.

      damn..suppose with these guys and Strata..at least they are still a band (unlike TREOS for example)..

      He was a HUGE part of their sound..I hope their new singer is good.

        I never thought they were that amazing, but I will admit he was pretty key to their sound.

          Not really into Opus Dai, but I hope they don't pull a Hopesfall on their fans.

            hahaha

            In my opinion if you change a band member, then you should become another band with another name. You just aren't the same. Unless of course it is a band member that really doesn't have a big part in the bands sound.

            But then again, I can't imagine dredg still being dredg if one of the band members happened to leave. It just wouldn't be the same.

                      i'm not going to get into great detail here...

                      but i'll say this

                      i had 'conversations' with chris-paul over a period of 2 days when i was out visiting in LA that convinced me that:

                      1. he was not going to be in opus dai...let alone in a place of residence within a month's time
                      2. when one says they are going to go home and wash up, and then you see them giving themselves a bath in the public fountain, there is something very wrong.


                      eh....

                        Yeah it sounds like being in a band isn't working out for that guy.

                        I never really liked his voice/scream that much... I think that's part of the reason why I couldn't get into them for some reason.

                          from what I remember about him, he was cool when I met him, but also was definitely the one guy in the band who seemed a bit high energy or less even-keeled I guess. He was joking around after the show..yelling and shit..altho I took it as all in good fun, but the other guys weren't like that really.

                            yeh...well...first time i met him, he was much like that.

                            2nd time...in LA....that would not be an accurate description at all.

                              Yeah, I had the chance to meet all the guys in bumfucknowheresville, North Carolina, and they were all nice as hell. Me and Chris talked for easily 30min about music, bands (was whoring out my VOkEE shirt), and shit. Seemed like a nice guy. Oh well I guess.
