Teargarden by Kaleidyscope announced

The group announced plans to release a 44-track concept album, Teargarden by Kaleidyscope , for free over the Internet one track at a time. The first track, ” A Song for a Son “, was released in December 2009 to moderate press acclaim. In March 2010 Ginger Reyes officially left the band, prompting an open call for auditions for a new bassist. That month also saw the first EP, Vol. 1: Songs for a Sailor , released from the project as a box set. In May, Nicole Fiorentino announced she had joined the band as bass player, and would be working on Teargarden by Kaleidyscope . The new lineup went on a world tour through to the end of 2010. One of the first shows with the new lineup was a concert to benefit Matthew Leone , bassist for the rock band Madina Lake , at the Metro on July 27, 2010. In late 2010 the second EP, Vol. 2: The Solstice Bare , was released as another box set, and all four members contributed to the sessions for the third volume of Teargarden , which was ultimately canceled after the completion of two stand-alone songs.
