Progressive rock band, Strange Machines have announced that Ryan Clausen will be replacing Isaac Civitello as the new drummer of the band. The group stated via social media, “Isaac informed us back in March that he was leaving the band to pursue other avenues. Being the incredibly stand-up guy that he is, he stuck around to finish Spring tour and help us find a replacement that we all felt good about. Isaac will always be a member of our family and we wish you nothing but the best moving forward brother…On that note, we are very excited to announce that our long-time friend Ryan Clausen has joined us on drums.”

Clausen is a long time friend of the band and has been part of many projects including Hayley Jane & The Primates, Dead Set and much more. Strange Machines have been practicing with the new drummer all summer and are bringing the new lineup on tour this fall which was announced back in August.
