Rx Bandits fan site plans for a live DVD featuring their live performance at the Glasshouse in Pomona, CA on August 22, 2008, as well as interviews and footage from the writing and recording for the next album. That writing and rehearsing process saw the departure of Chris Sheets, leaving the band a four-piece and without horns for the first time in its history. Mandala (2009-2011) Mandala was released as a digital download on July 14, 2009, and the CD was released on July 21, 2009, on Sargent House. They then headed out on a co-headlining tour with Dredg with revolving support from Good Old War, Zechs Marquise and As Tall As Lions. This album peaked No. 117 on the Billboard 200. On January 4, 2010 the band announced some U.S. tour dates starting in March with support from Zechs Marquise and The Builders And The Butchers. This tour featured a 3-night stand at The Gramercy Theatre in New York City, where they performed (in their entirety) The Resignation, ...And The Battle Begun, and Mandala on each respective night (an album per show). They recruited some close friends to play horns for these shows. In September 2010, they had a similar run of shows at The Troubador in Los Angeles. The full album shows from The Troubador were recorded live and the audio was released by the band via flashdrive. Last Summer Tour (2011) On April 12, 2011, the band announced that their forthcoming summer U.S. tour would be their last. A brief statement was given by the band: The tour was composed of 36 shows spanning from May 4, 2011, to August 7, 2011. Fans first believed the announcement to mean that the band was breaking up when, in fact, they are simply stopping their summer tours. Steve Choi has confirmed this in a Playmaker interview: Brazilian Tour (2012) On May 30, 2012, Rx Bandits announced that they would be performing a series of dates in Brazil during the summer, effectively ending their year-long hiatus. The Resignation Tenth Anniversary Tour and New EP (2013) Rx Bandits toured the United States during the summer of 2013 to mark the tenth anniversary of the release of The Resignation. The band released an EP featuring covers of The Police, Blonde Redhead, Weezer, Fugazi, and King Crimson.
