Join Taking Back Sunday at www.takingbacksunday.com or www.myspace.com/takingbacksunday on August 12th @6pm EST for a live video broadcast with your favorite five band members. TBS have partnered with Ustream to set up a place on their websites to go whenever the band wants to hop online and say hello. TBS can’t wait to fill you in on everything that is going on in the studio as they work on songs for their new album.
The band has been known to be slightly funny in the past so you should probably watch.
Taking Back Sunday welcome Matt Fazzi as the newest member of the Taking Back Sunday family. Matt brings his guitar and backing vocals skills to the band. He was formerly in the band Facing New York who had toured with Taking Back Sunday in 2006.
Last December, Taking Back Sunday released their first-ever DVD, "Louder Now: Partone." There's always more to the story. On November 20, 2007, TBS released the companion piece, "Louder Notw: Parttwo." In order to provide Taking Back Sunday fans with a vista into the entire scope of the Louder Now album cycle, the DVDs were split into two different parts. The first edition of the DVD pair was edited Summer 2006, while the second edition picked up after that. It’s the combination of Partone and Partwo that offers viewers the full gamut of the life of Louder Now.
The DVD includes loads of new behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the band, previously unreleased live performances, the European version of the "Twenty-Twenty Surgery" video, the animated sensation “12 Days of Xmas,” and loads of bonus features, including a "Making Of the Video" featurette for their Modern Rock hit "Liar (It Takes One To Know One)." The audio CD contains eight live tracks, including the hit single "MakeDamnSure," which was nominated for this year's MTV2 Viewer's Choice award, "Error: Operator" (written for the soundtrack to the film Fantastic Four), and the B-sides "Sleep" and "Brooklyn (If You See Something, Say Something)."
Taking Back Sunday today announced that vocalist-guitarist Fred Mascherino has decided to leave the band to pursue a solo career. Mascherino joined Taking Back Sunday in 2003 and appeared on the band’s gold-certified albums Louder Now and Where You Want To Be.
“We are sad to see Fred go,” says vocalist Adam Lazzara, “and we wish him well with his new project. As for Taking Back Sunday, we’re alive and well. We’ve started working on the new album and it feels really good.”
In between sets you can find the boys of Projekt Revolution (Bob Bryar/MCR, Adam Lazarra/TBS, Ville Valo/HIM and Mike Peddicone/The Bled) spending time with their best friends...THEIR PETS!

Taking Back Sunday drummer Mark O’Connell is taking a leave of absence from the band's spot on the current Projekt Revolution Tour due to suffering a herniated disc. After undergoing an MRI, O’Connell has been advised to return home for treatment until further notice. “I’m really sorry. I feel like I’m letting people down,” O’Connell says.
