Okay, here we go again... according to Jeri, Kurt has stated that the news of the band's break up is false. Apparently, after a recent Zuckerbaby show, Kurt, who is filling in for their drummer, confirmed to several AOE fans that the band is in fact still together. While rumors continue to circulate, we still await any official statement.
Despite the good news we last reported, the AOE has in fact called it quits. Ryan Dahle reported that the decision to dissolve the group was made because the strain of touring had begun to threaten friendships within the band. Both Ryan and Kurt will continue with Limblifter, while Todd and John will continue with OO Complex. We hope to soon have an official statement to post here on the page for the fans, so check back for more news.
We invite you to e-mail us your thoughts and opinions on the band's break up for display on the page.
Outside a show for their band, OO Complex, Todd and John both confirmed that the rumors of the band's split up are FALSE. The AOE is simply on break while the two sets of brothers work with their other respective bands.
