WHAT!?!?!?!? SNZ was the last band I'd thought would do that. Still, I don't know why, but I don't think SNZ will break up. Fat cat keeps getting fatter I guess. On the other hand Katharine Whalen's Jazz squad is coming near me twice. Once in Baltamore, and once in Virginia. I'm about to write ken with my concern...maybe. Or Jim & Kat by mail. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

This was just posted on the Official site: I must point out that the following comments/opinions are mine alone. Posted By Ken Mosher: The Squirrel Nut Zippers are being sued for using the name Squirrel Nut Zippers. Because of the complex legal issues, I cannot comment further; I might get in more trouble than being sued, right?! The band has not broken up, as I previously stated. I'm sorry for misinforming you, but these circumstances are both professionally and emotionally difficult, and I let my frustration get the best of me. While I personally feel that spending time and money to tour and record are foolish under the cloud of these circumstances, and that our efforts over the last year and a half to rectify this situation have been for naught, I do not speak for anyone but myself. I do hope that these issues can be resolved, so the band may continue to make great music together. More details later. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Looks like Ken's a little upset to say the least. Who can blame him? Keep an eye out.
