"Planning this tour has been bittersweet,"Betsysaid in February 2011 statement. "We lost our drummer/founding memberRobby Settlesto leukemia last year, and it took the wind out of our sails. We already hadKeep It Truebooked beforeRobbypassed, and other members were less than enthused about going over to play the show. When I spoke with our bassistSteve Gaines, he had just playedKeep It TruewithABATTOIRin 2009, and was adamant that it was an opportunity that shouldn't be missed.Steveoffered that if we couldn't find anyone to fill in thatANGER AS ARTwould be honored to perform asBITCH. The rest is history."
