My Getaway

Our band started as a group of close friends playing music they loved in high school.



In spring of 2008 we had an amazing opportunity; we took a cross country drive to California and played a few very important shows. We came back a different band, people over the course of time change and that is simply what happened. It was clear not everyone was 100% dedicated to making our band work, we as a band made one of the most difficult decisions we had ever made; shortly after we had a new lead singer.



With our new singer we finished writing what would have become our debut full length. We had an amazing tour with There for Tomorrow and Hey Monday and spent five weeks recording in Chicago. We also had a few important shows coming up at the end of this summer in New York City as well as an east coast tour with someone who is a very familiar face from the central Florida area in October. We pulled down our myspace a few weeks ago to focus on our shows and prepare for our tour. We were going to come back a stronger band, with a new name and a brand new full length in September. As for the full length it is completed, we are very proud of it and we know a lot of people would have loved it.



All that changed when Evan, our lead singer, unexpectedly quit our band last week. Not only was he the only person not financially tied to our full length or the well being of My Getaway; he obviously wasn’t committed to the band or most importantly, you, the fans. We sat on this dilemma and have decided it would be best for everybody if we no longer continue as a band in this format.



We want to thank all of our fans and the amazing people we have met over the last six years, the incredible bands and the unforgettable stories. It was an amazing ride and we wouldn’t change it for the world.



Thank you and we love you all.
