James Leaves Covendetta
February 10, 2011 | Filed Under Covendetta, News | 3 Comments
Since their first show (September 2008), Covendetta has struggled through countless member changes, including (but not limited to) 4.5 guitarists, 4 bass players, 3 screamers, 3 drummers, and 1 miscellaneous. Within that time, James Belliston (keys/vocals) was the only unchanged, original member of Covendetta. However, due to personal differences/disagreements, he has decided to leave the band. No further information has been released on whether or not Covendetta will continue to play shows.
For those of you who follow James‘ other projects, we will not suffer a shortage of shows. As of right now, his main focus is being shifted to his acoustic solo project, with the possibility of returning to the hardcore scene at a later time.
“I never thought the day would come that I would let this project go. With everything that we achieved, and everyone that we were fortunate enough to influence… there was always a reason to keep it going. But we live and we learn, and we realize that quitting is not always the same as giving up. That your dreams are worth more than the reward of selling out. And that you are the only one that knows your true potential. I may not ever become world-famous, but my passion for this is real, and nothing (short of my breath) will ever change that. I guess that’s what separates a musician from an artist. I want to thank everyone who has, and will continue to support me in my music. I can only hope that it will influence you, as much as you inspire me.”

Rock Yourself To Sleep The Tour

ROCK YOURSELF TO SLEEP THE TOURVenue: The Complex (The Grand)
Date: 01-11-2011
Time: 6:00 PM
Address: 535 W. 100 S. Salt Lake City, UT - Get Directions
Lineup: For Today, Lions Lions, Covendetta, I Capture Castle, and Hands Of the Martyr
Cost: $15 (advance) - Get Tickets
AFTER SHOW UPDATE:
As expected, the show was overflowing and nearly sold out. You may have heard that Joshua Moore (guitarist for We Came As Romans) was hospitalized with Bacterial Meningitis and was unable to play the show. This resulted in a last minute line-up change where We Came As Romans, The Word Alive, Woe, Is Me, and Texas In July dropped off last minute. But the show must go on. Lions Lions and Hands Of the Martyr jumped on, and helped to maintain the unforgettable night. We wish Joshua a speedy recovery as they plan to rejoin the tour in a couple days.
ORIGINAL POST:
Let’s be honest. If you missed We Came As Romans during their very first tour through Utah (Leave It To The Suits Tour ’09), that’s just bad luck. If you missed them when they came through again last May (Welcome To The Circus Tour ’10), that’s just REALLY bad luck. But if you choose to miss them again, on their most recent headlining tour (Rock Yourself To Sleep Tour ’11)… that’s just bad judgment. I personally suggest marking your calendars and getting tickets now. Before they sell out. Before it’s too late, and you realize that the self-inflicted regret that you’re feeling is the world’s way of telling you, “Covendetta told you so!” Those of you who HAVE had the opportunity of seeing them in concert… enough said. You know what you’re in store for, so I’ll see you there.
Along with the symphonic metal main course of We Came As Romans, be sure to save room for the rest of the lineup, consisting of none other than For Today (as seen on Scream The Prayer ’10), The Word Alive, Woe, Is Me, Texas In July, and Utah’s own I Capture Castle. We plan to party, and party we shall. Party like it’s 2011, because 2010 is soon to be out of style.
