Good Bye Carter
due to reasons beyond our control chris carter has decided to leave the band to pursue a solo career. 
it seems that sitting behind the keyboards wasnt enough spiritual satisfaction for chris and the allure of being a front man/guitarist for his own band was simply too much for him to resist. as far as i was concerned the news was particularly devastating just because i considered chris my good friend and buddy. i knew carter before he joined west indian girl and i will truly miss him. it seems like i called him every day when he was in the band – he was the number 5 on my cell phone speed dial – he still is actually but i never call him any more. i actually did last week to tell him that i missed him but he seemed like he didnt really give a shit. that withstanding, chris is really a fucking awesome guy and i wish him well and hope his dreams come true. 
his new band has an official standing invitation to open for us at any show they wish. hmmm, maybe that will give him a good reason to call me again. carter, thanx again for your loyalty to the band over the past 2 years you were the best keyboard player we had. i love ya and miss ya bro.

cartier,
i’m sorry i didn’t call you back yesterday i got swamped with stuff… you know how it goes. i hope you had a great time at the oscars. um… i hope you’re doing well and that tokio is tons of fun. whenever i have free time from work and rehearsal and recording and the boyfriend and life i will come and see you cause i miss you so much.
this is uncomfortable. so… um see ya…
well what do you expect? like all break ups i tend to move on… and fast.
listen, chris… i know i’m gonna see you soon and i know we’ll work together again it’s inevitable… whenever we get our schedules synchronized i’ll come over and you can make me some of your spicy pasta stuff and i can drink more of your wine and we’ll discuss the perils of being young and good looking in los angeles, ok?
love to love to love you forever…
Qberta
PS… email me so i can send you all the priceless pictures i have of you…
Cheers to Memories of Chris Carter

Chris man, aw man, chris, why? you had an amazing sound man. WIG plase dont lose that sound that he brought to the band, it would make me super sad to never hear that again.
Yes we will always miss his very….very RED eyes=)
I know how it feels we recently lost our guitar player Erik. And I know it’s hard to admit but….he was kinda lame anyway lol=)

Awww… not Chris!
I am really going to miss you. You’re going to do wonderful things I’m sure, but it just won’t be the same without you on stage with WIG.
Thank you for being so personable. Taylor, Abbey and Sabrina will be SO sad!
Best wishes, Erin

It’s going to be hard to imagine West Indian Girl without Chris Carter, but there was a time people said it would be hard to imagine Pink Floyd without Syd Barrett, and they went on to make some pretty fuckin good music without him
Carter is a nice guy who has always been cool to me and my friends, always made time to come chill with us at the gigs we went to.
that said, I’m sure Nathan will bring something new to the table that will only enhance the west indian girl sound.
now add some so-cal tour dates already, or do I have to book you guys myself?
sounds like it’s time for another 10 WITH 10! Nathan edition…
