Message from Mike!

Friends of the Freshmen!

As most of you probably already know, our drummer, Mike, was not with us on our last tour overseas or at our recent local shows.

We are sad to officially announce that he is no longer in Army of Freshmen and his replacement for the past tour, our friend, James Schlachter or Jimmy, as most of you know him, will officially be taking his place. We’re currently hard at work with Jimmy writing the new record.

Jimmy, however, will have big shoes to fill as Mike was a member of Army of Freshmen for almost 7 years. In that time we traveled the world together and shared some of this band’s greatest moments on and off stage. Since he moved away from Ventura this past October there’s not a day we haven’t missed him.

He’s like a brother to all of us and it goes without saying we love him, wish him the best and we will keep you posted on his new musical endeavors as he will always be part of the Army of Freshmen family. We’d like to turn the floor over to the man himself, our brother and one hell of a drummer… Mike Milligan.


Dear Friends & Fans,

It is with great sadness that I announce today that I will no longer be playing drums with Army of Freshmen.

The past few months have brought about many amazing changes in my life, and with these changes came a few new opportunities. Unfortunately, these opportunities conflict with me being able to be a part of the band at this time.
 
Over the past 7 years Chris, Aaron, Owen, Kai, Dan and I have gotten to travel all over the world and do what we all love most, play music. I am proud of the music we made together and I cherish every moment of our adventures together. The 6 of us are best friends and will always be a family. I wish them nothing but the best in the future.

To our fans, there isn’t anything I can say that will ever express the way I feel toward you. You have always been there for us in every way, and I know you will continue to support the band in every way. That’s what makes you the best. I hope that you will all stay in touch @_MikeMilligan on Twitter.

 I am truly privileged to have met and befriended so many of you.
 
Sincerely,
 
Millie
