"After nearly 16 years of bad language & random tempo decisions, Geoff is sadly leaving BEAK>. Our shows in the UK and Europe this year and the USA/Canada shows early next year will be his last ones with us. When we first met for a jam at the Invada Christmas party in 2008 we had no idea it would result in a collection of albums, singles, EPs and soundtracks we’re all really proud of. In terms of future BEAK> activity there’s life in the old dog yet, but we need time to mourn our Geoff. New music and activity will come along when the time is right. And for now, the 3 of us are going to rehearse for this upcoming tour and make these final set of shows with Geoff really memorable for us and our fans. Thanks to all our fans old and new for all your support over these last 16 years. BEAK> xxx"
