Nightmare of You drummer Sammy Siegler has been replaced by Mike Fleischmann, formerly of Permanent Me. Guitarist Joseph McCaffrey announced the news on the band's blog last night.
McCaffrey described Siegler's split as amicable, noting that the drummer -- whose previous bands include Youth of Today, CIV and Glassjaw -- was "starting a family." McCaffrey added: "The rest of us are very happy for them. Sammy is an amazing friend and drummer and we are lucky we were able to create music together that we are all very proud of and will hold onto forever."
Fleischmann, 20, of Merrick, had split from Permanent Me -- which was once managed by McCaffrey -- several months ago. He'll perform with Nightmare of You on March 13 at the Crazy Donkey. Also on that bill: Camera-Head Shark, Heavy Rescue and Aeroplane Pageant.
