The band also has some shows on the horizon:

The Aimless Never Miss never on much needed hiatus!

We’re rapidly shifting gears here at DIW headquarters. We’re shirking the old and embracing the new. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, change is always good even if that change causes a bit of disruption to the comfort zone. Comfort causes complacency and that in itself is a slow death and we’re not down with that just yet. What’s the definition of insanity? It’s doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So, time for change—stay tuned. Yay!
Say hello when you get a chance,
