Cadillac Sky Goes On Hiatus

INDEFINITE HIATUS STARTING IN 2011


Cadillac Sky

Cadillac Sky have
announced via their website that they are going on
indefinite hiatus in 2011. Check out the full statement below.

“To our dearest friends, the brothers and sisters of the C-Sky family,

After long hours of thought and with heavy but grateful hearts, we’ve decided to make the following announcement:
starting in January of 2011 we will be going on an indefinite hiatus. We’ve made some personal and collective
choices that have driven the decision, but we’re all in agreement that it’s time for us to step back from Cadillac
Sky.

This band has been an incredible journey for us. We’ve each been blessed to make music that we love for people
that we love even more. We’ve played in some of the greatest places a band could aspire to perform, stretched
ourselves creatively, and through it all have been supported by YOU. You’ve let us crash on your floors, fed us at
ridiculous hours of the morning, traveled miles to see us play and shared your stories and honesty with us. You’re
not just fans – you’re our friends, and you’re the greatest friends any band could hope for.

Know that none of this would have been possible without you. The door may be closing for now, but we’ll still be
making music and adding our individual involvement to many different and new projects. We’ll keep you up-to-date
on what we’re doing and what’s going on. New chapters are beginning to unfold and we look forward to you joining
us; you are why we make music.

Sincerely, humbly, and with unabated love,

Ross, Matt, Panda, David, and Levi
Cadillac Sky”
