It is with great sadness that we write you today. Pela’s collective journey has come to an end.

Over the past 2 years we’ve faced tremendous obstacles.  We recorded an album twice, had a falling out/legal battle with our old label, fired 2 managers, had a big record deal fall through, and Billy had a hand injury followed by a foot injury.

We’ve worked tirelessly to get our music out of ourselves and into your ears.  We worked endlessly to make the music and our live show the best we could.  At the end of the day we had to start dealing with some realizations.

We will never be able to thank you enough for your support. For those of you that drove and flew hours just to see a show, we thank you. For those of you who wrote us and gave us the opportunity to get to know you, we thank you. For those of you who told us to keep soldiering on, we thank you. Words can’t really describe how we’re feeling about this difficult decision, but we want you to know that it’s the healthiest decision we could make.

Your lovely faces are etched into our memories.  Looking at the Crowd Project videos says it all.

Please keep in touch, we’ll promise to do the same.

xoxo- Nate, Billy, Tom, and Eric

Thank you to everyone that came out to make last Friday such a memorable day, and thank you to everyone at KEXP for all of your hard work organizing the event (especially Amy).  As promised, below is the crowd project from the show.  If you were there, take a look and see if you can find yourself!

We’ll be back on the West Coast soon enough, can’t wait.

XOXO – Pela

Every night we will take a video of the crowd and post it on our website the next day. This will hopefully give people a chance to see themselves at the show. It will also give everyone at home to see what the terrain or touring life can look like. Our first post comes from The Rock and Roll Hotel in DC. Cheers…. Eric
