Taking A Break From The Sea Of Green

SEA OF GREEN will be taking some "much needed time off from the music and each other". Here's the official statement:

"The band is currently just taking some much needed time off from the music and each other. Well see what the future holds but there are no plans to write any new material at this time! I am playing in a band with my brother, Kurt, again who some of you may remember from our old band KUTHE and he was also in Elektrik Mistress.

We haven't named the band yet and our plans are to hit the studio later in the fall to record a full length CD."
