Back in February, one of my favorite guitarists — Scott Metzger — took a break from his gig playing with New york rockers RANA to link up with trance-rockers Particle.
Well, scratch that for now. From the Particle web site:
It’s with great sadness and surprise that we recently learned Scott Metzger will no longer be a member of Particle. Last week, Scott received unfortunate news of an unforseen family emergency that requires his long term attention. The combination of Particle’s rigorous touring schedule, west coast rehearsals, and upcoming studio projects make it impossible for Scott to commit to both the band and his east coast family.
Not the best of news for Scott, and I wish him and his family the best. But that doesn’t mean that the man won’t be playing. The aforementioned RANA is playing a special Rocks Off Boat Cruise show on the East River to Shea Stadium. I’ve got plans for that afternoon at the moment, but I think that may be changing….
