Houston Calls kicks out guitarist amid drama

Brian Shultz on 1/5/09 @ 1:12 AM

Houston Calls has kicked out guitarist/vocalist Jose Lopez after being leveled with certain accusations by frontman Tom Keiger.

"[He] has decided to shack up with my ex-girlfriend immediately after she broke my heart and left me," said Keiger in a MySpace blog posting today. "The two hid it from me for weeks over Christmas and only until yesterday when I had to find out was I informed.

"To put it bluntly he's out of the band for good and hopefully lives a terrible life forever."

No word on what this means for the band's upcoming Say No To Neon tour with Valenica, which kicks off on the 29th.

OOOH juicy stuff!! Jose and the ex-gf shouldn't have done that and it's impossible to play music and bond with someone who did you dirty. So he was right to kick Jose out of the band for personal purposes.

LOL. Classy shit. In my honest opinion it is neither professional nor classy to air out dirty laundry like that. A simple "due to personal differences, so and so has been kicked out of the band."

It may be unprofessional, but hell they're just as human as we are. I'm sure everyone else would have the same exact words on their mind if they were in that situation. Tom just chose to speak them rather than be vague and 'professional' like most other bands would be. I think a lot of fans are left wondering as to the exact reason why people leave bands or bands break up (cause admit it, we all want to know the juicy details) for the sake of the band being 'professional.' It's actually quite refreshing to see someone be so blunt.
