, in 2007 and with Story of the Year and Madina Lake in 2008. They also performed at both the 2008 Bamboozle Left Festival in California, and the 2008 Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey. Starting in mid-2008 the band went through a number of changes. Albert Redwine, the band's keyboard player left Josephine Collective in early 2008 to focus on their solo career via the music production alias "Fire For Effect". The band agreed not to replace them, leaving them with six members. They went on to start the Sea Punk movement. In early October the band was released from their contract with Warner Bros. for complaining about lack of promotion and the way that their album was released, and Colby Logback (Bass) and Jared Bond (Drums) also left the band, leaving four remaining members. Alex Sandate (Vocals) then took over for Jared on drums, and Dillon Devoe (Vocals) took up the bass duties. On May 23, 2009, Josephine Collective played their last concert at Kansas City's Beaumont Club. Dillon Devoe and Alex Sandate announced that it was their time to end, and they were all focusing on other projects. On January 23, 2010, the band played their "last-hurrah" reunion show at the Beaumont Club in Kansas City.
