Oakes left the band in June 2009, in part to focus on running his Mexican food restaurant. In an interview with MTV Oakes wanted it to be known that he wasn’t fired, but rather, his leaving the band “was really a mutual decision … it was really amicable.” He said he still considers the band members to be “more than friends — they’re family,” and added that Boca is already carrying Against Me! guitarist James Bowman’s homemade hot sauce on the menu.
