Taken from April & Brad’s post on their myspace page – “The Red Blood Club will be closing its doors for good on June 15, 2008. This completely breaks our hearts, but we have been trying to fight a battle that we cannot seem to win…At several of those shows there were maybe 10 people that showed up… We were not trying to make a buck off anyone…we were simply trying to keep the doors open.
We would like to thank EVERYONE that came out to RBC and showed their support. We would not have made it this long without you!…
I would like to ask that you all keep us in your memories. There were SO MANY kick ass shows at RBC and even more good times. We made a lot of new friends and even a few enemies! It will all be missed greatly.

Please be sure to continue to show your support to Doublewide, Bar of Soap, Reno’s and The Granada. They really need you and when they are gone there will be nothing!
We will be planning a “Grand Finale” party that will take place at RBC. The details will be posted soon.
We love you all!!
x0×0x0×0~ April & Brad”
