New Official Site

Fri, 5 Mar 2010 16:39:24 -0600

Welcome to the new official BRMC Website. We’re sorry for the delay in the launch, we had some technical issues with the site last week. Long time friend David McCrindle will no longer be handing the official BRMC website. The new site, designed by The Uprising Creative, will be managed and run by Michele Lydon who has operated Rebels With A Cause [dot] com for the past 9 years. There will be more changes and updates coming to the site soon, but for now we hope you enjoy the new Black Rebel Official site!

* Because of the transition, I will no longer maintain this Web site, and I'll 'turn off the lights,' so to speak, one final time on March 11th. It will be sad to say good-bye, but it's time for a change.

Thanks to the BRMC family for everything, and of course, to all the fans for your support over the years. I'm looking forward to all the future has in store.

Michele *
