DANGER RADIO BASSIST DEPARTS

Danger Radio have officially announced the departure of their bassist, Marvin Kunkel. Kunkel has not played with the band since fall of 2008.

The following is a statement from the band:

"Dear Danger Radio Fans... We regret to inform you that due to personal issues, Marvin will no longer be playing in the band. He was not only a fantastic bass player, but also a great friend. He spent nearly 9 years playing with the band, and we are all sad to see him go. We all wish Marvin the best in his future endeavors, whatever he chooses to do."
