As confirmed by Nic Offer at Lolla , dance-punk octet !!! had been pared to a lean and mean dance-punk septet when other lanky vocalist John Pugh left to focus on Free Blood , but that day's guest vocalist Shannon Funchess has since been confirmed as the official eighth tentacle of this libidinous octopus (at least according to MySpace ).
