Ukrainian, hardcore/electronica band, Make Me Famous are calling it quits. Well at least their lead vocalist, Denis Shaforostov, is.
The band more or less kicked him out because he thought that he was better than everybody else in the band.
The members said that he was extremely rude, disrespectful, and a royal jerk. They had had enough.
"We would like to make a statement on the state of Make Me Famous. We four members were never treated like equal musicians to Denis Shaforostov. According to Denis, he was the only member in the band and he treated the rest of us as unpleasant as humanly possible, it was not fun being in a band with him. It was as if everybody but Denis were hired musicians and were expected to do any and everything that he would tell to us to do. Denis would also expect to keep a larger portion of any band income, in return he would treat us disrespectfully and give everyone in the band and the bands team an everlasting negative attitude. From those on the inside of the industry, this might not come as much of a surprise."
I don't blame these guys at all for kicking out Shaforostov. The name of their band certainly fits his goals for music; just to make money and get famous.
The four remaining members will be finishing up their It's Now or Winter tour with our vocalists taking over his vox part in their live shows.
Sumerian Records is going to keep the quartet on the label and will work with them so that they can continue as a group with a new name.
