Furthermore, the band has issued the following statement:

"Just in case y'all are wondering, we are working on shows for 2010 in various parts of the USA.

A fan posted a question about why we don't tour the USA or get out much and play as much as some of the other bands do. Below is an explanation... we urge you to read it.

We are hoping to do a Festival and more shows in the US next year (2010). We were excited about RGW and the idea of playing with so many old friends.

Our situation is a little complex. Rather then have 'Junkyard Version 2' or Junkyard featuring 'Insert OG band member here' we choose to do it as the original lineup (most of the time sans Baker... but if it fits within his schedule he will be there). The last thing we want to do is water it down.

Junkyard without David and Chris would be an outright crime. You will never see the band without David or Chris. If Pat, Todd or Tim can't make it then we will usually cancel the show or have an old friend (no one famous... just an old cronie from back in the day) fill in. There will never be a listing that says: Junkyard, featuring Chris Gates... or Junkyard, featuring Singer from another band from 'back in the day'... or let alone two different Junkyards.

We all went our separate ways (musically) years ago (no bad blood in our disbandment) and actually became pretty successful at it. It's hard for a lot of people to understand our take when it comes to touring and playing gigs. We have explained it quite a few times. Some get it, others don't want to hear it. We are five guys that get a kick hanging out with each other. We are a band... but not really. We dont have management or a booking agency. We do it ourselves. We all are working stiffs with families and mortages. We all play in different bands and don't really look at Junkyard as our 'main' band or career. When an opportunity comes our way (RGW, Europe, etc) we don't look at it from a marketing point of view... we take a long look at it and ask ourselves... are we gonna have fun? 9 times out of 10 the answer is yes! I guess that's why when we play it's more an event rather then just another gig. We have only had to get a 'non-original/hired gun' to fill in for one show since we got back together... and even that didn't feel right.

Make sure to email the good people at Rocklahoma and request Junkyard."
