Sledheds! What up?!? Last month in review First off let us thank all of you who voted Skulltoboggan as the Best Metal Act for the Pulse Magazine's 2006 Worcester Music Awards.

Also, thanks go out to all that attended the awards ceremonies at The Irish Times in Worcester, Massachusetts. It sure was a great party!

Recording of our next CD has been postponed due to yet another lineup change. Heath ''The Missing Link'' Thayer was relieved of his duties last month and has been replaced by Andrew ''Dubble-O'' Smith. ''Dubble-O'' was the bass player on the ''Hedsled'' CD and has been kind enough to fill in while auditions continue. Also, John ''Johnny Walker Black'' Lamonda resigned his post. Once the bass player position has been filled, the second guitarist search will begin. We wanted to thank all of you that came out to support the 2006 Worcester Magazine ''Turtle Boy Music Awards'' on Friday, April 7, 2006. It sure was a special evening that we were proud to be a part of. And finally, we apologize to our fans in Baldwinville, and Gloucester, Massachusetts. Due to the aforementioned lineup change, we were forced to cancel dates at both of your fine venues. We promise to make it up to you by rescheduling appearances there in the very near future.
