According to Pitchfork:
Ted Leo Bassist Dave Lerner Leaves Band
…Leo announced on Sunday during a show at Brooklyn’s McCarren Park Pool that this would be Lerner’s last performance with the band. No hard feelings—Leo toasted Lerner with a bottle of bubbly, and fans rushed the stage. Leo and co. were in a celebratory mood, even treating fans to a cover of Daft Punk’s “One More Time”.
No replacement for Lerner has been announced just yet. But the Pharmacists have a few weeks to regroup— their next show isn’t until September 1. A lengthy North American trek awaits in November.
Ted Leo & the Pharmacists are scheduled to play Bumbershoot Mon September 3rd.
a friend called me from that show so i could hear them play 'where have all the rudeboys gone'. so awesome.
also, there is a dude who works at the true value hardware on the ave who looks like the tl/rx bass player. its awesome.
That is a bummer. They will be a very different band without Dave.
maybe somebody needs to teach the dude from True Value how to play the bass.
I'd bail too if I had to play "Bomb Repeat Bomb" every night.
