Hey all you Borough fans! As you may already know, James Haefner has decided to leave the band. Although the group is sad to see him go, they wish him all the best. Ryan and Grady are currently auditioning new members and should have the new lineup set by the end of the month.

They came, they saw, they rocked! The Boys recorded their long awaited first demo at Astoria Soundworks last saturday with great results. The recording process went as well as could be and the band couldn't be happier with the result. The Boroughs would like to give a big shout out and thanks to Savvas Karamalis and Tim Moes for all of their amazing support and great work on this record. The band is currently working on CD duplication and should have the record ready for distribution in a couple of weeks. In addition to making the demo, the band will be playing a good old fashion house party on June 21 in Dutchess County NY. Details to this gig will be coming soon. Also, one of the Boroughs favorite bands from Boston, MA, "The Modeles" have invited the band to play with them at a pub near Boston University called"Great Scotts" on June 27th, 2003. This will be the first time the band will play Boston. Details on direction and the clubs address will be forthcoming. Thats all for now.
