BUMMER: MCMANUS LEAVING GUILLOTEENS

You may have already read by now, but ace of strings, songbird and one of our favorite scribes Brian McManus is set to play his last show with local lads Fatal Flying Guilloteens tonight. You prolly didn't need another excuse to goto the Matt and Kim show that they're opening for, but just in case, I would expect his swan song to be nothing left that teeth-removing. When reached for comment regarding his departure, Guilloteens manager Runtrel Davenport was barely able to choke out something about the high cost and difficulty of procuring cheese steaks on tour before launching into an obscenity laced diatribe about "not leaving my job in the Ship Channel to have it end up like this."

We wish Brian all the best, knowing that we can always listen to our records whenever the salty stain starts collecting in our tear-ducts heavy with memories. And for the Guilloteens, three piece, four piece, five piece - it matters not - you are still Where The Rock Comes From. Hugs.

The Fatal Flying Guilloteens are on the bill tonight when Matt and Kim and O Pioneers!!! destroy the upstairs back room at the Mink. The Guilloteens next album, Quantum Fcking, is due out in July on French Kiss Records.
