Drummer Kyle Profeta of Canadian hardcore band Comeback Kid has announced he is leaving the band after 12 years to pursue other interests.
Profeta made the following statement:
“To all of you who may not have heard. It saddens me to say I have officially left Comeback Kid. I want to thank Jeremy Hiebert and Andrew Neufeld for their support and understanding behind my decision. In the words of Jer. “Everything has an expiry date.” I felt that mine had come. I will never forget all the amazing places I got to see and all the amazing people I have met throughout the years. To thank everyone individually would mean about a 6 hour typing session. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. Anyways, I am forever grateful for the last 12 years of my life. It has consisted of travelling around the world with my friends causing trouble everywhere we went. When I think back over the years I am flushed with this wild reality check that I/WE DID IT. I could not have made my dreams come true without Jeremy, Andrew and Scott Wade (sorry endless bass players) There are just too many memories to even start naming them. Happy and sad. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I will deeply miss sharing tight spaces with you all… (that’s what she said) – Michael Scoon.
It’s now time for me to open a new chapter of my life…
I have decided to take my culinary skills down to South Africa! I plan to brand my product down there and open up some food trucks! Production begins.. well…. I fly down on May 27th!
So there you go.. Spread the word! Chops is on the rise and heading to South Africa! If your ever in Cape Town, look me up!”
