PROTEST THE HERO Welcomes New, Possibly Permanent Bassist Eric Gonsalves

Is Cam McLellan out of the band?

Is Cam McLellan out of the band?

Protest The Hero has done well over its 16 year career in terms of keeping members around. Founding bassist Arif Mirabdolbaghi stuck around from 2001 to 2014, and toured with the band in 2015 until it recruited bassist Cam McLellan. Now it seems as though either McLellan is taking a break and becoming Protest The Hero's front of house sound guy, or is hanging up the bass for good, as the band welcomes bassist Eric Gonsalves.

Protest The Hero had the following to say, which doesn't exactly clear things up.

Clum has finally gotten his wish of moving back to front of house, and our new pal Eric Gonsalves has taken over bass dooty until he screws up!

Come watch him have a rip!

Gonsalves chimed in with "As some of you may have heard already, I will be joining the boys in Protest The Hero on their next run of shows! Fort McMurray is tonight!" So is Gonsalves the new bassist? Or is McLellan just taking a break for this tour?

The band's Facebook doesn't list either McLellan or Gonsalves as members, so who knows.
