When did Carl & Bo join?

[JDUB]

Several questions:
At what point in 2004 did Carl & Bo join the band?
Did Johnny Quaid & Danny Cash quit mid-tour for It Still Moves?
Did Carl & Bo tour for It Still Moves before recording Z?

Johnny & Danny left after finishing the 2003 Fall European Tour, last show was nov 25, 2003.
Carl & Bo joined a few weeks later and played their first show jan 16, 2004.

I've read multiple over the years that Jim thought it was the end of the band and that he wasn't sure how they would go on.  I didn't realize there was such a short time between when Johnny and Danny left, and when Carl and Bo joined.  I was always under the impression that there was a much longer time between lineups. 

Was their exit abrupt or did they tell the band and then finish the tour?

It was near the end of the tour, so yeah they did finish those dates.

Thanks! That made me curious to look up my first show. I guess I didn't even realize it, but the first two times I saw them, Johnny and Danny were still in the band.
