Same face … new name.

January 9th, 2010

A message from Menlo:

“There’s a story behind all this. However not that interesting, the fact of the matter is that we can no longer continue using the name Menlo. So it goes.

Not to make a huge deal of it, especially being that there hasn’t even been a full length record yet. Debut record is going to hit you all in March! As I’m writing this I’m listening to it again, and I think its safe to say that you will really like it.

The last official show under the name Menlo will be January the 15th at Ames Progressive. Hope to see you all there! But after that show, we will continue on under the new name: Canby

It will take a little getting used to, but since I’ve started kicking it around in my head, I’ve come to really love the name. I hope you will too.

Please find the Facebook page here and add us! Love you all!”
