Two Members Of Aussie Rock Band ‘The Follow’ Have Gone Missing In The States!

This is certainly worrying if true.

Sydney band The FolloW, recently in the news because their front man Azaria (yes, front man, Daily Telegraph!) used to date Jess from The Veronicas before she decided she preferred the company of MTV’s Ruby Rose, have announced on their MySpace page that they’ve filed a missing persons report and contacted the Australian Consulate because members KJ and Azaria have gone missing.

On August 26th, the band’s manager Gabe Deluc posted the following on the site.

WE’VE BEEN INFORMED THAT AZARIA AND KJ HAVE BEEN MISSING SINCE FRIDAY AUGUST 22ND. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION ON THEIR WHEREABOUTS, PLEASE CONTACT US. KJ AND AZARIA WERE LAST SEEN IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD AT THE CORNER OF BURBANK & VINELAND. CONCERNED FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS SHOULD CONTACT JaK COLEMAN FOR MORE INFORMATION.

Later that day, there was another update:

I received a phone call from a close friend of mine who swears she saw Azaria at CineSpace in Hollywood on Saturday night. I’ve been fielding calls and emails all day. JaK is here with me now and we’ve gone over everything to the point of exhaustion.

JaK and I wanted to thank you all for your messages. Thank you for all your love and support during this time. We feel confident that they’ll turn up as soon as they check this myspace page. We should disclose that the band has been going through some hard times recently, both as a band and as individuals. Working on the new record was the final breaking point for an already unstable band.

All of The Follow’s family and close friends have been contacted, we’ve filled a missing person’s report, and have reached out to the Australian Consulate for guidance.

Again, thank you for your support and love.

LOVE,JaK & Gabe

So – god forbid – something really quite dreadful has happened, or two disgruntled band members have decided to use their time in the States to have a wee holiday from work politics. Maybe they’ve gone on a OMG-My-Ex-May-Now-Be-Doing-Ladies inspired road trip together? Maybe they’ve hooked up and are locked in a hotel room making sweet sweet rockin’ love* and have no idea this kerfuffle is even happening?

Fingers crossed they’re located soon and all is okay.

* Right now I am really, really hoping Azaria and KJ aren’t brother and sister. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THESE “YOUTH” BANDS THAT APPEAL TO THE EMO KIDS!
