2010 is coming to a close. So what now? Well... Look out for the much anticipated, new OFAC EP in 2011! As we do when most new years come along we will be coming out with some new songs, new pics, and a show possibly? All right around the corner. We are also still on the search for a Bassist. And might we add that this new Bassist must be able to sing! Because you know how we boys in OFAC like to bust out in 3 part harmony. We're still trying to convince Fleck to wear a head set. Then 4 parts will be made! If you are interested please e-mail us at Offateandchance@gmail.com
How do the years roll by so fast? Nothing is slowing down it seems. 2010 was gone with a blink of an eye. It felt as if the CD release show was only a few weeks ago and that all the great venues in NJ were still around. We miss you Birch Hill! All these years with OFAC and so many memories. Being in this band has been quite the learning experience and it continues to be to this day. 2011 will be yet another chapter in our saga. The OFAC journey continues!
Happy Holidays and much love to you all,
-Sean

Welcome to Miami...
What up everyone!
Hope you all enjoyed your summer! Because the fall season has officially started, unforetunately. But, summer is not over for OFAC :) We're chilln' (or I should say relaxin') right now in the hot hot heat of Miami, Florida! Yes, I know we wish you were here with us too. We've been tracking for over a week now; finished drums, guitars, bass etc. Soon we will be starting some vocal tracks. Songs are coming out swimmingly. It's going to be our best sounding record, without a doubt. I've uploaded some pics for all of you to see where we're hanging and recording. Check 'em out!
Much love,
-Sean

OFAC UPDATE! New songs, Ryan and more..
Hello everyone,
Wow, it's been months since we've written a blog. I'm sure some of you were wondering what happened to us and these things.. Well here we are again and we have SO much to tell.
So much has happened since the last time we wrote one of these that it's difficult to know where to begin. I guess we can start off by talking about the new music we have been creating. We have been doing A LOT of writing for 2010. We've written enough songs (and still are writing) to release another album and then some. But if you know us, you know that we don't just slap songs together. We are always striving for the best outcomes of our music. After some time and many songs we have come to a conclusion on what we will be doing in the next few weeks.
We will be heading down to Miami, Florida this weekend to record a new EP of 5 or 6 songs. We will be down there for a few weeks pumping out some new material for all of you to rock out to. We're ecstatic not only for all of you to hear it but to show you the new direction and evolution of OFAC. I'm not sure when you will be able to hear a newly recorded song but if I had to give an estimate I would say some time in the fall season. And once that is finished you may see us on the road touring these new songs along with all the other OFAC tunes you like to sing in your car too. And another full length in 2011 :) It has been quite a ride so far for OFAC which leads me to my next topic.
I'm sure many of you have heard through us or a friend about Ryan's departure from OFAC. If you're reading this for the first time it is true.. Ryan has left Of Fate and Chance. After many years and the long journey with OFAC he chose to move on. It was a very emotional time for all of us to see him leave. After all that we had been through it seemed unreal; from 1999 when we started the band in 7th grade, through high school & college, all up until now. He was a big part of OFAC, writing many of the songs and showing a dedicated work ehtic. But, for many reasons that would be too difficult and too long to explain, he chose a new path. We wish him the best of luck with his endeavors. The most important part is that we are all still best friends and there is no doubt that we will miss him very much.
As for Fleck, Micah and I.. We continue to carry on! We have big plans for the future and we're hoping that it isn't long until we can let you in on what we have in store. I know that you've seen our little snippets of status updates on our facebook profile, but we will try our best to continue with more detailed blogs and updates.
In the mean time, we will be kickin' it in South Beach recording some dank, new tunes, searching for a new bassist, looking to start playing shows again, and just having a blast with what we are doing. The new season brings another chapter in the OFAC journey. More updates on the way!
We love you all so very much,
-Sean

we're not dead
What up my judeo-christian brothas and sistras,
In case you haven't heard from us.. Just letting you all know that we're still alive and kickin' so I thought I would inform you on what's going on with OFAC since we haven't written a blog in a while.
Since our last show in New Hope, and our appearance on 104.5 in Philly, we've been concentrating heavily on our writing and laying down some demos. We are holding off from playing shows for a little while to get some business done for the future and to refine what we have done with new music. Although, writing is something that occurs quite often with us so it's always a work in progress. When our next show comes up we know you will all know about it through word of mouth or all the other annoying updates you get on facebook. But be on the look out! We have much in store for the future and we can't wait to let you all in on what we have going on. I know I'm teasing you and you're all jumping out of your leotards.
So for now sit back, listen to a nice tune and chill... or feel free to bug us any time.
Much love,
-Sean
