The Band Breakup/Reunion Rumors Thread

[TallGuyCM]

First Lou Reed dies, and now this. What a week.

The Jonas Brothers have broken up.

Azari & III:

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, the art project known as AZARI & III has done its work, run its course and is, for all intents and purposes, a momentary blip in time, now forever imprinted on the Universe. Our recent EP entitled "Extinction Event" was just that, an extinguishing of the flame and a bird into the fire of blissful, eternal oblivion. It was heaven, it was hell, and I wouldn't take it back if I could. Now comes the Aeon of the Phoenix, which rises from the flames impervious. Long live the new flesh.

Thee Oh Sees are on "indefinite hiatus".

WHAT? Didn't they just play last night at the GAMH for a benefit?

[dorkfish]

Yeah, and they announced that it was their last show for the indefinite future.

all those entitled assholes made them want to stop

[guedita]

Look what the fucking techies have done.

[dorkfish]

Enjoy Mikal Cronin before he's pushed out by Twitter, as well.

Uncut can exclusively reveal that a Kinks reunion looks closer than ever before.

In the new issue of Uncut, out on Friday (January 3), we speak to the three original, surviving members of the group – Ray Davies, Dave Davies and Mick Avory.

All three are mainly positive about the potential reformation, with Ray Davies stating: “It’s as close as it’s ever been to happening.”

“I said to Ray I thought that it’d be a great shame if we don’t try and do something,” says guitarist Dave Davies. “I don’t think our love has diminished. I think the stage-play has played itself out a bit, the pretence and the acting. I think it’s time reality took over, and started directing the last years of… whatever it is. It’s like Cain and Abel.”

“I think it would be nice to do something all together,” says original drummer Mick Avory, who left the band in 1984. “Because the chances are diminishing as we talk. Hopefully me, Dave and Ray can meet before it happens. We’d have to knock our heads together and rehearse, if we meant to do it properly. We haven’t played together for God knows how long.”

The Davies brothers have some reservations, though, with Dave claiming, “I don’t want to see the legacy of The Kinks soured by two miserable old men doing it for the money.”

Coachella 2015

Or Roo 2014.

listened to The Ocean Blue for the first time ever today. I guess it was the comeback album after many a year in brewing. Pretty good actually. It's like an American version of the Liverpool band Shack without the horns.

I love them and am bummed by this news. While they have been virtually inactive for a little while I still hoped they would write again and tour some more. I wish I could make it up to one of the Brooklyn shows but I will be skiing all weekend in West Virginia. Womp womp.

Motley Crue - "They're going to play 70 shows, with tickets going on sale Friday, starting at $15. Alice Cooper has been slated as their opening act".

Shit, I saw they'd announced a show here but didn't realize it was going to be their last. Sold out.

Motley Crue - "They're going to play 70 shows, with tickets going on sale Friday, starting at $15. Alice Cooper has been slated as their opening act".

The Crue should have been done a million years ago. To be specific, they should have broken up the early 80's before they crawled out of the primortal ooze.

Bob Casale died. I can't imagine that Gerry will want to tour without in Devo, so I would put them on long-hiatus/breakup watch.

Sad, but maybe it means he will devote more time to Kings of Convenience.

[Gribbz]

Ugh, that fucking blows.

[djbionik]

I heard they got together a few months ago to make a new album, I guess things didn't pan out. I was banking on them touring this year. This is so sad!

Once again, Loop has just fuzzed to a stop.
But it was fucking huge and burned the brightest ever.
It could have got even brighter, but it wasn’t to be.

Thank you to all the fans old and new, far and wide for some amazingly wonderful nights of noise.
If you missed it, that’s a damn shame, as it’ll never happen again.
Twice bitten, thrice shy.

No thank you to the people that systematically erode with bitterness, poisonous cynicism and lack of respect - you know who you are.
Never shall we meet again and for that I am thankful for small mercies.

As Always…
Always Forward.

With Love
RH (June 2014)
