The Adventures of Duane and BrandO has permanently disbanded. The breakup comes as a result of not one particular area of disagreement, but due to overarching creative differences as a whole. I’m not going to elaborate any further on the specifics and I’m fairly sure that nobody else is going to elaborate either, so please don’t be holding your breath or ask for any additional details in the future.

I’ve been informed that everything will go back to the way that it used to be after the first breakup, with BrandO carrying on with The Adventures Of and Duane carrying on with Action Adventure World. TAO will be handling the completion of Castlevania 3, Zelda 3 and Super Metroid, while AAW will be carrying on with Mega Man 6 and Comix Zone. As of right now, it’s uncertain what will become of Mega Man/Protoman 9.

The site will likely revert back to the old The-Adventures-Of.com domain, and will continue to host all previous DNB material and any future TAO material. AAW lyrics and music will most likely be removed at some point in the future.

Throughout all of this, I’d like to request one thing from everybody: please remain respectful and supportive to both sides. Whether you prefer TAO or you prefer AAW, there’s absolutely no reason to berate the other group. They’re both fantastic musicians and great people, and I hope that you’ll respect their decision no matter what. Nothing’s preventing you from being a fan of and following both groups; I know that I will.
