In September, it was revealed that both Jesse Kurvink and Marcus Cole had left Hellogoodbye. It's hard to believe but another member of the band has just announced his departure.



"For a lot of you this is the first time hearing directly from me, but I'd like to take this time to let everyone know that I will no longer be playing with Hellogoodbye," drummer Chris Profeta wrote in a recent MySpace blog.  "I am now at a point in my life where I want different things. New challenges and new experiences. I am going back to school to earn my degree in business. This may seem really boring, but I am very very excited to be going to school again, and cant wait to see where it takes me. God has shown me that there is more to life for me than full time music. However, this doesn't mean I'm done with music. I will always be doing something, somewhere but for now I have decided that it is time for me to focus other things."

And wait until you hear who the band has chosen to be their new drummer ... their old drummer! Yes ... you read that correctly. Aaron Flora, who left the band in 2003 to fill his brain with knowledge at college, is back in Hellogoodbye.  I guess he wanted to live the rock star lifestyle once again! Can you blame 'em?

"[Flora] got a teaching degree and has been subbing in Orange County for a while, but he's taking a leave from that and will be back with us for this tour. He's an awesome awesome guy and if you never met him before, I think you'll love meeting him now. So in some ways, it is kind of a new Hellogoodbye," the remaining members wrote in the same MySpace blog as Profeta's announcement.

Accoring to Alternative Press, longtime keyboardist Kurvink has been replaced by Joe Marro, formerly of The Early November, is in. Meanwhile, Ryan Daly is now the band's second guitarist, taking over for Cole. You can catch Hellogoodbye on tour this fall with Ace Enders and a Million Different People and nevershoutnever!

Hellogoodbye recently stopped by DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show to discuss their upcoming tour, new music and new lineup.
