The Collective

Chris (bass) here again:

It seems I am through the woods (for the most part) with my brush with the big "C." I will be emerging from my bubble in a week. Since we started gaining momentum just before my cancer diagnosis, we're kind of starting all over again. We've applied for all of the festivals, our website is under construction, merch is being designed, we are planning a video shoot for "Heaven's Full Enough," and planning for our forthcoming EP. We've been quiet for a while due to my recovery, but we're going to hit the ground running and hope to have a busy spring and summer. We can't wait to see you all oot n' aboot.

The Collective - YouTube A sonic soul band from Pittsburgh, PA. Collectively creating.

Merry Christmas all you filthy animals. May all of your sh****rs be full.

I don’t want anyone thinking we dropped off. I’ve announced it on my personal page, but wanted to do it on our page as well. I had 2 cancerous tumors removed in early November. Everything went fine, and the surgery got it all. That said, I had several risk factors for recurrence. Under the advise of my incredible doctors, I elected to do 2 cycles of chemotherapy to greatly reduce the odds of it returning. It’ll put me out of doing live shows until February-ish. During this time, we will still be working on our forthcoming EP, planning video shoots, and preparing for what we hope is a very busy summer for us. Thank you all for your continued support and we will see you all live again ASAP.

Unfortunately, we are going to have to cancel our appearance at Indie-Rockfest. We got some bad news that is going to sideline us for a couple of weeks, but we will be back before you know it.

Greetings Ghosts & Ghouls,

As we’ve been teasing here and there, the lyric video for our first single “Heaven’s Full Enough” will be hit ring the inter-webs this Thursday, October 28th. The video features the incredible artwork of Pittsburgh’s own Zachary Rutter. Until then, the song is available wherever you get your music. Be on the lookout for a full-fledged music video shot by William Walker Films in the upcoming months.

Stay Spooky & Happy Halloween 👻
