Electric Callboy have announced that their longtime drummer David Friedrich will be stepping away from the band.
In a message posted to Instagram (April 29), they said that David “wants to do something new and will follow his own path from now on.”
They continue, “Of course, we’re really sad about this, but we also have great respect for his decision. We can look back on 13 years with David as our drummer, and no one can take away all the wonderful memories of our journey together. This time will always be a part of Electric Callboy. And for that, we say thank you! For his talented hands and feet, for thousands of crazy and emotional moments on and off stage, for lots of Hypa Hypa, and for more than a decade of EC on tour.”
The band concluded the message by adding “And don’t worry: Of course, we will play all festivals and upcoming concerts with a drummer. We will let you know soon who exactly. Can’t wait to see you all this summer!”
Electric Callboy will perform at Slam Dunk Festival this May in Hatfield and Leeds alongside A Day To Remember, Neck Deep, New Found Glory, Alkaline Trio and many more.
They will then return to the UK later this year for a sold out headline show at London’s Alexandra Palace.
