=== Final years and breakup === On October 5, 2004, Flickerstick released their second album ''[[Tarantula (Flickerstick album)|Tarantula]]'' on the Dallas-based indie label [[Idol Records]]. The band had toured statewide as well as the UK in support of the record. Founding guitarist Cory Kreig left the band in April 2005 towards the end of the tour for personal reasons. Brandin was able to recruit veteran songwriter Tim Locke, who also handled lead vocals and guitar for Dallas-based alternative band Coma Rally and alt-country band Calhoun, to fill Cory's place in the band. On April 3, 2007, the band released ''[[Live from Atlanta: Two Nights at Sound Tree Studios]]'' which was named as a result of a two-day, fan-invite recording weekend in September 2006 at Tree Sound Studios in [[Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]]. Fans joined the band at night in a live recording room at the studio, and celebrated being part of the band's live taping sessions. The album featured six new songs that had not been recorded before. The album also featured a special studio track called "Helicopter," along with three videos from the recording sessions in September. The record was engineered by industry veteran Shawn Grove. Rumors of breakup gained momentum after the band's website was taken offline for nonpayment in July 2008. It was confirmed by the band on their MySpace page in January 2009 with the following statement: {{Blockquote|"After a decade's worth of playing, the time has come for us to pack it up and say goodbye. Throughout these years, our greatest reward has been the dedication and support of our fans. We simply could not have lasted this long without you, Flickerstick fans. ...βWeβve had some very good times together, and we will miss all of you."<ref>[http://www.star-telegram.com/music/story/1214488.html]{{dead link|date=June 2015}}</ref>}} After a hiatus of more than a year, the band (minus bassist Fletcher Lea) resurfaced to perform a series of farewell shows:<ref>{{cite web |url=https://byocb.libsyn.com/byocb-bonus-cory-kreig-flickerstick |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180824183433/https://byocb.libsyn.com/byocb-bonus-cory-kreig-flickerstick |archive-date=2018-08-24 |title=BYOCB: BYOCB Bonus - Cory Kreig - Flickerstick}}</ref>
