Mystik Spiral Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Just got an e-mail : Hello friend, Yesterday those good people at Cooking Vinyl put out a statement on our behalf that reads thus: "After eight happy years The Broken Family Band has decided to give it a rest. We can’t pin it on musical differences, we’ve just decided to quit while we’re ahead. We’ve had a fantastic time being in this group together, and we’re all still friends so we haven’t ruled out doing stuff together in the future. There’s no dramatic ending, but these shows are our farewell to The Broken Family Band. We’d like to thank everyone who’s helped us out and given us so much pleasure since we started, but we’re not going to." Although in reality we will get around to thanking everyone! The shows are: Wed 21st Oct LONDON, "Relentless" GarageThu 22nd Oct SHEFFIELD, Academy 2Fri 23rd Oct LIVERPOOL, Academy 2Sat 24th Oct CARDIFF, Chapter Arts Centre (SWN Festival)Sun 25th Oct OXFORD, The Jericho Plus the magnificent End Of The Road festival in a couple of weeks. We're also going to be adding a proper farewell show in the pub where we first played together, which we'll announce shortly. While we're about it, Cooking Vinyl also said: To coincide with these dates, the band will be releasing a digital download single, Cinema vs House (FRYDL404) on Monday 19th October. Taken from their critically acclaimed album, Please & Thank You, the track is a witty dissection of the eternal dating seesaw, which starts sweetly and ends up as a rock juggernaut. The single will also feature their cover of the Mann & Kolber standard I Love How You Love Me. With love,TBFBx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
