Summer 2010/Departure of TJ
Original drummer and one of the founding members of Gwen Stacy decided to leave the band in late May 2010 to pursue school and other interests. In early June, they attained members Brett Sibley, who would replace TJ on drums and Matt Strahl (both formerly of the band Venable), who would finally take the position as a permanent 2nd guitarist. They then set out to tour with Inhale Exhale and This or the Apocolypse as the new lineup. Gwen Stacy also toured with A City Serene and Lower Definition on the No Bummer Summer tour in July. September 2 kicks off the start of a mini-tour with another Indianapolis based band, Amarna Reign. As of November 7, 2010, Gwen Stacy officially announced they were splitting up via the band's Myspace. They played their last show at Rhino's in Bloomington, IN on November 20, 2010.
