.... into two bands!?

Madbirds, the first ladies (and token bloke) of metal, plan to make two bands of their 10-piece line-up. Founding member 'Kamikaze' Kate Bottom describes it as "black metal and black mayonnaise". As one might expect, we don't know what she's on about. She explained further -
"Basically, Madbirds is going its separate ways. You've got the heavy as Kitena black metal that made Satan shit himself in fear, the big and fucking creepy performances that go with it - and then you have Madbirds as it is without me to fuck with it. Melodic barely-even-metal that doesn't suit the ideals of me. People buy this, and not to burn it.
"So, there's Madbirds and there's Madbirds, and with 10 perfectly good musicians - well, nine good musicians and me - we can and will make two bands. The only problem is what goes where, who goes in and who's left out, and what to call the bands because Madbirds 1 and Madbirds 2 sounds dim. Answers on a postcard."

There has been overwhelming fan support online for Stacy 'Blitz' McBlister to rejoin the band. According to madbirdsownzyou.com, she is the second most popular of the 10 Madbirds (Nick, the other founding member, being first). The second choice to rejoin and the 5th most popular 'bird overall is Kamikaze Kate. We don't get that, people are strange. It's almost definite that Kate will be back. "Unless I become mayonnaise in the interim, I'm back," says Kate. Anyone for Kamikaze condiments?

But who will make up the new 'birds? The general idea is that "Madbirds 1" will be either Kate/Nick/Mayhem or Kate/Nick/Mayhem/Kitena, and "Madbirds 2" will be some of what's left over - Kitena Dale (if she isn't in the first set), Jason "Dark" Robbins, Catriona Robbins, Emma Blunt, Stacy Blitz, Faye "Fate" Townsend and Miyuki Morikawa.

Who would you like to see stay and go? Who's your favourite 'bird? What is the next move for these girls? Your opinions please!
