Time is a funny thing. It seems to pick and choose the speed at whih it passes without regard for it's passengers. Through all that whirling time, things change. The arts change, fashions change, tastes change, hearts change, moods change, minds change, people change, roads change. At some point in time, every road finds itsef branching out in different directions. TAI has reached that point. As difficult as it is to let go, Andy Mrotek and Michael Guy Chislett are parting ways with The Academy Is... We feel that this is the righ choice for all involved to embrace the changes, new hopes and desires that have individually taken hold.Andy is currenty foucusing on his art and pursuiong his band Animal Upstairs full time. His Limitless talent, heart, and friendship has made a lasting impact on all of us and we will always be his biggest fans in whatever the future holds for him. Michael has benn busy co-writing, producing and touring with various artist over the past year, and is currently touring with Brooke Fraser on her world tour. His ability as a musician always fed our thirst to improve as he pushed us to new limits. We wish them both the best as we head our separate ways with mutual respect and continued support and friendship.
We'd like to thank all of our fans for your understanding and support, for each of us, as we enter the next step in our musical lives. Meanwhile, Mike, Adam, and I are looking and moving forward to a new era of TAI. We are proud to announce that we will be heading into the studio in the very near future to record our 4th and most ambitious album to date. Stay tuned for more news and updates on the record coming soon.
-William, Mike, Adam, Michael, and Andy.
