Although this put a damper on a noticiceable amount of female fans, the news was welcomed warmly by other band members, who were forced with decisions concerning the future of the band.<br \/>\nAt least one band member, Matt, has used his new found popularity to try and launch a movie career just like his long time idol Justin Timberlake.  Adopting the stage name of Shad Rockford, he recently produced, wrote, directed, provided costumes, and starred in what he calls &#8220;an original classic&#8221; known to the public as &#8220;Harry Potter and the Sunken Gimblet of Sires&#8221;.  This news came as a surprise to friends and family of the popular singer, most of whom did not know about the project until it was scheduled for release in the Summer of 2006.<br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/www.suneagleclan.com\/uploads\/shad.jpg' alt='' \/><br \/>\n&#8220;He always is talking about what an idiot Harry Potter is, mmmkay, and we were all shocked that he would take the part, mmkay.&#8221; said a spokesman for the family.<br \/>\nAnother band member, Stephen, chose a low profile piano job that kept him busy during the band&#8217;s &#8220;temprorary disengagement&#8221; and was seen playing at weddings, dances, and even Bar Mitzvahs.<br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/www.suneagleclan.com\/uploads\/Steviewonder.jpg' alt='' height=400 width=500\/><br \/>\nChris, determined to keep the band together, kept working on the idea of launching a third album.  He single-handedly kept the group together for what many thought was a final album that showed promise of things to come.  &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what all this talk about a break up is, please&#8221; he remarked later &#8220;I only know that as long as we have a strong group of supporters we will continue to give the world our best, please.&#8221;  He also squandered any rumors of affiliations with a certain VFD and denied any knowings of any shady character asking &#8220;Who is this Count Olaf please?&#8221;<br \/>\nThis third album portrays the unique genius that has become the hallmark of the band and appeals generally to those known as &#8220;Old timers&#8221; as the Brigh-Ands take a trip down (someone else&#8217;s) memory lane to revisit the songs of yesteryear.<br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/www.suneagleclan.com\/uploads\/car.jpg' alt='' \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the tremendous success of their smash hit &#8220;A Pioneer&#8217;s Life&#8221; and their record setting #1 record&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.suneagleclan.com\/secondmesa\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.suneagleclan.com\/secondmesa\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.suneagleclan.com\/secondmesa\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.suneagleclan.com\/secondmesa\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.suneagleclan.com\/secondmesa\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.suneagleclan.com\/secondmesa\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.suneagleclan.com\/secondmesa\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.suneagleclan.com\/secondmesa\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.suneagleclan.com\/secondmesa\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
