Damn, that would suck pretty bad if it they've really broken up. I hope it wasn't really one of their last shows in Amsterdam just a couple of weeks ago. Can anyone provide more info on their sources? It just strikes me now that I may have overheard a conversation of their drummer at the merch table who seemed to be implying something about it being
his last tour with the band, but nothing about them breaking up or whatsoever. But I'm not even sure if that's what he really said.
I'm googling now, but the only thing I found is in
Drowned in Sound's Primavera review, where they mention it was their last ever show (integral performance of Blue Cathedral as part of the ATP Don't Look Back series). Mind you, I can't trust DiS anymore as they've been proven to speak out of their asses before. Before the last Six Organs album came out, The Sun Awakens, they falsely stated that it was going to be a Chasny/Moloney/Corsano lineup. Maybe this time it's just one member leaving the band? Hope so...
It would also be poor journalism from Pitchfork when they publish an interview with the band on June 1st without mentioning any of this. Not that Pitchfork are known for their high standards anyway, but for now I still like to believe dnorsen is right until I'll read official news elsewhere... Chasny has combined Six Organs with Comets on Fire for years and I don't expect Moloney is also going to leave Sunburned?
