TOP STORIES
• Jesse didn’t work out for the guys, so John took the lead vocals throughout 2006
• John decided he wanted to concentrate on playing as opposed to singing so the band put the word out seeking a new lead vocalist.
• In June 2007, Aaron Smith from local band “Dontmindus” took the lead vocal role. Timing was perfect as “dontmindus” had decided to go there separate ways just as Missing Deltora were seeking a new lead singer.
• From June 2007, John & Aaron started writing new songs, in September we recorded new demos, and in November started playing our first shows with the new line up.
