Some slightly somber news to share today; apparently as of March 16th 2011, the Philadelphia PA band Victory In Numbers has officailly called it quits. Now having been a long time listener and fan of these guys, I can tell you from experience that these guys are not only amazing people and musicians, but immense contributers and supporters of both the Philly and New Jersey music scenes. The band issued a note via their facebook page outlining their feelings and the overall reasons behing their decision, and made it very clear that while this was obviously a very hard decision it was made unanimously and with no ill will or issues amonst anyone involved. Victory In Numbers has been a resounding and positive voice in the Philly music scene for over 14 years, first under the name Blue Collar and then later Victory In Numbers. These guys have been through so much and accomplished amazing things over the years, and I will stick with each of them and wish them the best in their future endeavors, as I hope all of their fans and you fine readers will as well. So raise a glass to an amazing run, and a bright future! Cheers guys!
*Victory In Numbers final show will be at The Note in Westchester PA on April 10th . This show will also see the return of Nick Passio (who had been the lead singer and guitarist for V.I.N. until his departure a few months ago due to personal obligations). So come out as a show of thanks to these guys, who gave everything they had for the music and the fans.
