CANDIRIA: New Album 'On Hold'

December 7, 2006

CANDIRIA guitarist John Lamacchia has issued the following update:

"If you are not already aware, Ken Schalk has left the band. It's heart-breaking, I know, but he needed to explore new things. So Ken, we wish you all the best.

"The new album, 'Kiss the Lie', is now on hold because of the lack of a touring band. The label does not believe this record will sell enough copies without a touring band to justify a release. Therefore they are reluctant to release it. We are trying to come up with a marketing plan and a budget that will satisfy both the label and the needs of the record.

"This is where we are at this point. As soon as we figure this out we will let all of you know. The new record is great and different and new and the artwork is beautiful so I personally can't wait for people to hear it."

The line up for the new CANDIRIA record is as follows:

Carley Coma - Vocals
John Lamacchia - Guitar
Michael MacIvor - Bass
Ken Schalk - Drums
Eddie Ortiz - Guitar

"Kiss the Lie" was produced by John LaMacchia and Carley Coma at Jupiter 4 and Purple Light studios and was mixed in Brooklyn with Michael Barile (E.TOWN CONCRETE).

Back in April 2005, CANDIRIA won a $29 million verdict for injuries they suffered when a truck hit their tour van.

The members of CANDIRIA were hurt as they traveled to a gig in Cleveland on Sept. 9, 2002, when a tractor trailer owned by Paige Transportation Inc. hit them near Buffalo.

The crash sent their van rolling over five to seven times, and all the members received injuries.

The aftermath of the crash is documented on the cover of the band's last album, "What Doesn't Kill You…", with photos of the band's demolished van.

"What Doesn't Kill You..." was released in July 2004 through Type A Records.
