History edit
Michelle DaRosa announced her departure from Straylight in June 2008 in order to work on a solo album.[1] The Destry project was made public in October 2008, when Sam Means of the Format posted that he had been recording music for them for a few months.[2] Destry's current work currently consists of collaborations between Michelle and four other artists, Means,[3] drummer Nico Childrey and Tyler Odom who played together in Cassino, and bassist Shaun Cooper of Straylight Run and Taking Back Sunday.[4]
DaRosa said all five have collaborated, but have never been in the same room together. The band was proven to have finally been all together by a MySpace blog post by her on February 2, 2009.[5] She also says the only members of a possible tour would be herself, Nico, and Shaun. In June 2009, the band went on a tour of the US with the Narrative.[6] Destry's first studio album, It Goes On, was released on October 30, 2009.
