There’s a rumor going around about the #1 hype man/Lead talker in the Washington D.C. GO-Go scene, Donnell “D.Floyd” Floyd. Rumor has it that he left the band he created in 2001, “Familiar faces.”

Well the rumors turn out to be true. D. Floyd left the group a short time after they returned from a trip to Miami in late July, where they had just performed. D. Floyd is well known on the GO-GO circuit for writing and performing for almost 20 years with another local band, Rare Essence where he enjoyed great success.

It is still unknown why D. Floyd left Familiar Faces but Swagevents.com is still investigating this story and will try to confirm this as soon as possible.

We have also found out that Derek “DP” Paige (D.Floyd’s cousin) has also left the group for unknown reasons.
