Aaryn Doyle answers fans about leaving TBS...

Wow! Aaryn Doyle it seems that fans are interested in every move you make. Like whether or not you are with a new band and why you left TBS. Also most recently it has been brought to my attention, through many sources, such as this weblog site and other sites like your Myspace fan sites etc, that you're now singing with other bands and performing solo. Yes Ruby this is the case... I have indeed left TBS and upon resigning from the band over a month ago, I requested that all my data, interviews, and pictures, be removed from the site, to avoid the confusion, but to date that has not happened. However I still wish the band members the best of success in future endeavours, and I pray for them and Bill a very dear friend (a member of the band who passed recently). He was my mentor and he was like a grandfather to me. So what you are telling me is that you resigned from The Bluesual Suspects: the band that you have been performing with as lead female vocalist for the past almost three years since the age of 13. Could you explain your decision for your inquiring fans? Yes... What I am telling you is that I have left the band and it was a difficult choice; but it was, for reasons that I feel were very important to me. It came as a surprise to many of the band members but it was time. Would you like to elaborate and clear the air as to why you left the band? Well let’s just say a big part of my leaving the band was I have grade 11 and 12 to complete, and school is a huge focus for me this year. I was also thinking I would like to work on my original music, something the band could not help me pursue. Also there is an issue of not being able to work until 1:OOam in the morning at gigs during the school week as I am a minor with a curfew and I’m not willing to compromise my education or myself. However, music is my passion, so I have joined another band that is capable of making the necessary concessions in order to accommodate my needs... Therefore I will be able to continue performing part-time... Also the new band members are extremely accomplished musicians, with a vast music repertoire that is more current which will challenge me as an artist while allowing me to grow as a performer. But like I said the next year and a half is about finishing up high-school... I am only 15 and I need to focus on school. Final question before we rap. How are your new songs coming? Well they are coming nicely and I am spending time in the studio working on developing my signature sound and perfecting my tracks. And it’s all good.
