The Academy Is... Lose Two

2011-05-25 by DaveyBoy EMERITUS | 29 Comments
Chicago based power-pop band The Academy Is... have parted ways with drummer Andy Mrotek & Australian born lead guitarist Michael Guy Chislett.

As per the band's website: "Andy is currently focusing on his art and pursuing his band Animal Upstairs", while "Michael has been busy co-writing, producing and touring with various artists, and is currently touring with Brooke Fraser on her world tour".

The three remaining members of The Academy Is... "will be heading into the studio in the very near future" to record their 4th album.

Chislett is invisible in The Academy Is, but plays tasty stuff with Hillsong United, etc. Good for him.

They've been settled since 2006 from what I know.

Chislett has been here, there & everywhere (including Hillsong United & Butch Walker). Didn't know he had anything to do with kiwi Brooke Fraser though (although I think she has an association with Hillsong too).

The word "kiwi" is written & Dev gets an sms.

Yeah, it doesn't really seem a good fit. I remember seeing TAI live & thinking Chislett was actually surprisingly good - even a little intricate.

Maybe there's something going on between them.

Saw them live, and the Aussie seemed too talented of a lead player to be stuck in a pop-punk group. The drummer was OK, nothing too special, but competent. Really, this band hasn't been good since 2005 so whatever...
