2-12-2010 Official Update
This is the first Official update of the new year.
The band hopes everyone is having a great 2010 so far.
In the first 2 months of the new decade, Provision has faced yet another Tragedy
and an unforeseen blessing as well.
Provision is booking multiple upcoming live performances, and 2010 promises
to be a busy year for the band on the live front with upcoming shows supporting Angels On Acid,
Christopher Anton, Assemblage 23, and more to come.
Provision will also be going into the studio this spring to record their yet to be named 4th album.
There's a ton going on at Red Square Digital, and there seems to be no slowing down for Provision
this year.
With that said, please read on and enjoy!!
Tragedy in January
On January 16th 2010, Provision lost it's drummer and backing vocalist - Joel Schafer (Joel 313).
Joel Schafer stated in a goodbye letter to Breye and Matt that he was simply "calling it quits" and officially
leaving the band. As there was no falling out, nor warnings of Joel's impending departure or problems within
the group. The remaining members Breye 7x and Matt W. can only assume by his exact wording; that this
means Joel will no longer be pursuing music in his life.
The loss that Breye and Matt have felt is truly heartbreaking, and it will be quite sometime before they
recover as this is a personal tragedy; and not just one that affects the band and it's future.
Breye and Matt want the fans to know the decision to move forward was without question.
Rehearsals for 2010 have continued forward, with more determination than ever to stay the course;
no matter what new obstacles the band may face.
Breye and Matt both wish Joel the best in life, and know that Provision truly couldn't have made
a comeback without Joel's belief in the group; and his dedication to the music in 2009.
Provision in Austin, Texas
After 4 long years, Gil of The Austin Cyberpunks Coalition owns the distinct honor
of being the man to bring Provision back to Austin, Texas.
Provision will be performing live on Friday, March 5th 2010 supporting Angels on Acid and END the DJ on
their current U.S. Tour. Other regional support includes Virus Filter from Harlingen, Texas and DJ's Juxtatek
and Prophet from Austin.
SynthXSW II - Austin, Texas
For those attending SXSW in Austin, Texas this year in March.
Provision will be performing at SynthXSW II.
Also confirmed on the bill is Christopher Anton (Information Society) and more great acts to follow.
This is the 2nd year of this electronic music showcase, and for those who love
Electro, Synthpop, and Dance music; you do not want to miss this event.
This is a FREE Show and Provision kicks the event off at 8:00 pm sharp, so you will need to get
there early to catch Provision; as they get the party started on 6th Street at The Dirty Dog Bar.
Jen Kiser (aka: Jen Foxx) Returns!!!
In what can only be described as a true blessing for the band, and the look of things to come;
former Provision member Jen Foxx (aka: Varien Foxx) has returned to Provision.
Now known as Jen Kiser (aka: Skully), Jen holds the current longest tenure in the group behind founding
member Breye 7x. Jen became a live member right before the Visualize U.S. Tour in 2004, and she has been
a contributing member since 2005. Her production credits include Provision's 3rd album The Consequence
and it's Dual Single Ideal Warfare. Her songs Ideal and Defying Culture have been heard the world over, and
her current writing credits include the new Provision tracks - Love Like Machinery, Waiting, and Give Me
Time.
Having already written lyrics for half of the new songs being performed by Provision in 2009,
Jen's return as a full time member was imminent. Breye and Matt are nothing short of thrilled to have Jen
officially return to the group, and hope the fans will welcome her back at upcoming shows.
Feel free to check out her new Bio Page here - Jen Bio.
Provision returns to Oklahoma
After 5 long years, RE:MISSION Entertainment is bringing Provision back to Oklahoma
on April 7th 2010 to support Assemblage 23 on their upcoming U.S. Tour.
Provision is honored to be sharing the stage with Tom Shear once again, and looks forward to
meeting many new fans; as well as seeing their Oklahoma friends and the fans who have
continued to support Provision in Oklahoma.
Other acts on the bill include Angel Theory and Bedlam Emotion.

In Closing
The band is currently booking more shows and should have some really great announcements
to make very soon. There will be a lot of updates being made as the band sends me new pictures and
videos, and I prepare to make the move to host videos directly here on the site.
Breye, Jen, and Matt thank you all for the continued support and love, and they look forward
to performing some of the best Provision shows you have ever seen this year. If Provision is
performing in a city near you, don't miss your chance to attend. An incredible show awaits you!
