Yes it’s true, the stick wielding genius that is Max Wood will very soon be walking off stage with Hotels for the last time. Anyone familiar with Where Hearts Go Broke will know that these are big boots to fill, yet filled they must be. If you live in the Seattle area and think you might be able to make those skins sing then check out all the details on Hotels’ Myspace blog and get in contact with the band.

In other Hotels news ‘The Heart That Hears Like A Bat’, the second single taken from Where Hearts Go Broke, will be released and available for free download on the 11th of March. The single package also features remixes of ‘Leilani’ and ‘Near The Desert, Near The City’ by Nite Club and tin Man.
