by | Sep 26, 2011

The Crimson Armada have parted ways with bassist Chris Yates, and replaced him with Kevin Lankford.

The band stated, “About a month ago, us in The Crimson Armada came to a very difficult decision. We parted ways with Chris Yates as our bassist. We will not be going into too much detail about it because it is a very personal matter that is to be left between us. Regardless, he is still our friend, in fact, one of our best! so we thank him for his time with TCA and wish him luck in all of his future endeavors! With that being said, we would like to welcome Kevin Lankford to the family. Kevin brings a whole new level of encouragement, strength and motivation to the band. We are finally ready to unleash the real TCA into the world as we head out on tour this Fall!!, Which will be announced TOMORROW!! Thank you all for the continued support.”
