Whatever Happened To NO AGE?

It's been a few years, are they still together?

That No Flag show was great but time to get back to No Age stuff.

From Wikipedia:

On June 24, 2010, No Age announced their new album, Everything In Between, along with the tracklisting.[26] On July 28, No Age premiered the first single from the album, Glitter on a BBC 6 Music interview with Steve Lamacq.[27] On August 10, the album's cover was released, and plans to release two Glitter singles were announced, along with their respective covers.[28] The singles were released on August 24.[28] Everything In Between was released on September 28, 2010, to generally favorable reviews.[29]

During June 16–20, 2011, No Age accompanied video artist Doug Aitken and actress Chloë Sevigny to Athens and Hydra Island in Greece to perform the multimedia installation piece Black Mirror. Supported by the DESTE Foundation and the Greek Festival the performances took place on an old Greek barge at the Port Of Piraeus in Athens on June 16 and 17 and off the Island of Hydra on June 19. With a final performance on June 20 with the barge driven a mile off the coast of Hydra in the middle of the ocean.

In September 2011 No Age made a zine called "Reality Problems" that was commissioned by the Los Angeles art book and clothing store Ooga Booga for their booth at the New York Art Book Fair. The zine was in an edition of 50.

On November 12, 2011, No Age made a soundtrack and installation piece for Hedi Slimane's California Song at the MOCA Pacific Design Center. They performed their piece with audience participation for the opening of the show and the soundtrack as a continuous loop played for the duration of the show ending on January 22, 2012.

In February 2012 No Age released the "Collage Culture" 12" on Post Present Medium, A soundtrack to readings of excerpts from the book Collage Culture written by Aaron Rose, Mandy Kahn and designed by Brian Roettinger published by JRP-Ringier. The book deals with Contemporary issues in Art and the idea that Collage as an idea and a tool is negatively affecting this generations impact on art. The record is split in two channels, one side has readings from both essays in the book and the other is No Age music written specifically for the release.

Last I heard they were working on new material for an album. I dunno though, they've kind of fallen off the face of the planet.

They're playing at that Deerhunter ATP in June, FWIW.

I kind of regret skipping their set at Pitchfork in 2011.

One of the members recently got married/bought a house. So, that has a lot to do with it.

They've been in the studio, but not sure if it's for No Age stuff or not.

I didn't know they were in Flag. Link to confirm?

Anyway...you also have to keep in mind that Randy and Dean are in their early/mid 30s and not really in the age group for LA DIY shows anymore. I wouldn't blame them for moving on at this stage in the game.

They did the No Flag show, which was them, Chuck Dukowski and Keith Morris playing all of the Nervous Breakdown EP and half of Jealous Again at MacArthur Park. It was so good.

Then why the hell don't they play bars like most decent bands their age?

[bmack86]

Because they don't play anywhere.

The last show I witnessed was when they opened for Pavement & Sonic Youth at the Hollywood Bowl.

Best show with No Age was when I broke my thumb stage diving at Market Hotel show 5 years ago haha. They should play shows with HEALTH again. Fuck I miss those guys...

[OutOfmYminD]

Best show was at the Los Angeles Public Library, where they played a great, extended set with Mika Miko opening. Or the show they did on a sandbank in the middle of the LA river. Or the set in a Chicago basement where they played a bunch of old school punk covers then it flooded as Abe Vigoda played and we all carried the gear out while singing Oh Katrina by the Black Lips. I love me some fuckin' No Age.

Ah Mika Miko haha. Dean used to wear their shirt all the time back in the day! Didn't they film the show at a sandbank? Chicago show must have been insane!

New No Age! Any thoughts? Will listen to this when I get back home...
