Due to mutual agreement, Deen Castronovo has decided to step down as drummer for
Soul SirkUS as the work load between both SS & Journey left him little to no
personal/family time. World reknown Australian sensation, Virgil Donati (Steve
Vai, Planet X) has stepped in & the band will begin touring to support their
debut, World Play, in the Spring of 2005 before Journey embark on their summer
tour.

Deen has expressed his feelings here with:"Oh my God, Virgil Donati SERIOUSLY
kicks my butt!!! He is the most unreal drummer I have ever seen...this guy is a
studied musician and does things on a kit I had never witnessed...with "this
guy" in Soul Sirkus they are going to make some real noise in the music
business. They couldn't have chosen a better guy - they just don't come any
better than Donati."

Neal, Jeff & Marco wish their brother Deen well in the decision & are now all
are content with the decision to forge ahead respectively. Deen will continue
with his duties in Journey accordingly.
