June, 2010 – It has been a long time since we have provided our friends with any updates since we went into our self-imposed ‘hibernation.’ Since the summer of 2009, there has been a wedding (congrats to Andy & Jen!), birthdays and anniversaries aplenty. The big news for the band however, is that the gears of the Stop Thief machine have begun turning again. Sad to say, founding member Kevin (bass) has decided to move on to additional projects, and his presence will be greatly missed. As a result however, Stop Thief has welcomed new bassist, Mike Radosh into the fold. Mike brings to the band, years of performance experience in jazz, original rock and cover band outfits. We’re excited to have his bass, singing and songwriting thkillz, and we’re psyched to begin gearing up for new shows later this year at a still-to-be-determined date and time. So watch this space!

August, 2009 - The members of Stop Thief continue to be busy with various family, work and music doings. There have been marriages, engagements, moves to new digs, and big birthdays for young 'uns. Andy and his friends with Cain Rose Up have folded up shop and put their modern rock spurs up for the time being. After a stint with area cover band Bam Bam, Jon has moved on to new musical projects, and Steve has joined up with established original area band Aubriot, while still performing with Andy in the band Bette Noir. Both bands are on Facebook, so 'friend' em and join their groups. Or, better yet, come out and see us sometime!

April, 2009 – We know it has been awhile since Stop Thief was out and about, but we wanted everyone to know that you can still get your ‘fix’ ‘cos we’ll be updating the website with some new video and audio content in the coming weeks. In the meantime, you can still find some of your favorite Stop Thief members, bringin’ the rock to the greater DC-metro area as members of other bands. Check us out!

March, 2009 – After some heart-to-heart discussions among the members of Stop Thief, we’ve come to the realization that returning to the band for a full schedule, just does not seem to be in cards right now. We all have our busy lives, as well as additional projects we’ll be pursuing, so it seems that Stop Thief will be going into a longer-term ‘hibernation’ than previously thought. We have all enjoyed performing for you as Stop Thief, and while we hoped we might get back into it sooner than later, we’re going to put Stop Thief on the shelf for now, with the hope that we can return in the future.

January, 2009 – Stop Thief had a great time performing at Brittany’s New Year’s Eve party to rock 2008 on it’s merry way. Happy 2009 everybody! As everyone knows by now, we’re going to be taking a hiatus from performing for a few months, but we’re hoping to get back into some shows in a few months (Spring of 2009). We’ll keep everyone posted for sure – in the meantime, thank you again to everyone who came out and showed us the love, time and time again these past years!
