Cash Colligan leaves The Cab

Alternative Press - Laila Hanson on 8/20/09 @ 8:27 AM - altpress.com

Bassist Cash Colligan of Las Vegas group The Cab has parted ways with the band to pursue his own projects. Read the band's full blog on the matter below. You can also read an explanation from Cash himself on his personal blog right here.

You will be missed

First off I can't thank our fans enough for making the What Happens In Vegas tour a success beyond our wildest dreams. I don't think anybody quite realizes how much this means to us but it absolutely means the world. It was our first nationwide headlining tour and you guys were loving, welcoming, and absolutely incredible! I'm sad to say the day has come where Cash has decided to leave the band and to move on from touring to pursue his other interests and dreams and to do do what's right for him in Las Vegas. If you follow Cash on twitter I'm sure you've seen everything he has on his plate and that he's been working on at home. We wish him the best and I'm sure he'll be no stranger at a Cab show or anytime we're back in town. Thank you again to everyone for your unending support, you've made the tour and this summer one we'll never forget. We hope to see everybody again soon. We are happier than ever and have so many songs we are dying to show you guys! Get ready... the best is yet to come!
