Thank you to everyone who came down to El Corazon on Saturday, sold the place out, and danced and screamed with us one last time!! It was the most fun that we have ever had and we owe you the biggest thanks in the world for supporting us and loving us for the last nine years. Sorry for everyone who could not get in or not make it because you live in a distant city, but I assure you that we were thinking of you as we sweat/bled/rocked one last time.

In the coming days, we will have links for Schoolyard merch both rare and ubiquitous! Who know what we will pull out of the archives!!!

For One Last Time We Rocked,
Schoolyard.

Schoolyard Heroes' Home for the Horrordays- The Final Chapter Schoolyard Heroes These Arms Are Snakes Kane Hodder (all original lineup!) Blood Cells Sirens Sister CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS

Just wanted to post this article from The Stranger, as it sums everything up quite nicely...
RIP "R/I/P/S/Y/H" posted by MEGAN SELING on FRI, NOV 20, 2009 at 4:15 PM

This afternoon, members of Schoolyard Heroes have posted "R/I/P/S/Y/H" on their Facebook pages, letting fans know that indeed, the end has come for the band. "Steve [Bonnell] and Brian [Turner] have kind of phased themselves out over the last year or so, and it'd be weird going on with them," says Jonah Bergman, the band's bassist. "So our Home for the Horrordays show is going to be our last one."
Even though Schoolyard has been playing recently without Bonnell and Turner, the two will be rejoining the band for the December show, happening at El Corazon on December 19th. It will also be the last show for Kane Hodder, who have played many a show with Schoolyard over the years. (And they too will be performing with their original line-up, including bassist Nick Cates and guitarist Jeremy White.)
Despite the break up, Bergman and Co. probably aren't done with music. Schoolyard's music has always been about dead things coming back to life, after all. In fact, he stressed that all Schoolyard fans will want to be sure they arrive to the show on time to see the opening "special guests."
But before they look too far ahead, with or without new projects, they're concentrating on giving Schoolyard the funeral service it deserves. "This band has been the only thing that we’ve thought about, and done every day for the last 10 years and now it’s gonna be done."

RIP, Schoolyard Heroes.

Home for the Horrordays is Saturday, December 19th, at El Corazon with Schoolyard Heroes, These Arms Are Snakes, Kane Hodder, Sirens Sister, and special guests. Doors are at 7 pm, it's all ages, and tickets are available here for $15.

After 8 years of driving, eating, rocking, driving some more, eating even more than we did before, and then rocking harder than god, Schoolyard Heroes will be returning to the soil from whence it came. This year's Home for the Horrordays on December 19th at El Corazon will be the fourth and final installment of the series, and the final show by Schoolyard Heroes: Jonah, Brian, Steve, and Ryann.

We love all of you Skeleton Army soldiers and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and love.

ROCK,
Schoolyard

P.S. Don't freak out! If Schoolyard Heroes has taught you anything over the years, it is that death is always around you... and that from death shall emerge new channels of destruction. Loud, distorted, maybe even operatic channels

Hi everyone! We have some special news to announce about Home for the Horrordays. Of late some of you may have noticed that Steve and Brian have been absent from the Schoolyard Heroes line up. After a year of whirlwind touring in 2008, other endeavors were pursued, and much needed time was spent with those missed while out playing rock shows around the country. Well, we are pleased to announce that on December 19th at El Corazon all will be reunited. Please join Steve, Brian, Jonah, and Ryann at an extra special Horrordays. We will dance, we will sweat, we will bleed, and we will do it together. Hope to see you there. LOVE, SYH
