Sleater-Kinney Split

Where have I been the last few days??? One of my favourite bands announces they're going on an 'indefinite hiatus' and I completely miss the announcement... then I find out on the day we go out of the World Cup. Am gutted. Here's Sleater-Kinney's announcement in full:

After eleven years as a band, Sleater-Kinney have decided to go on indefinite hiatus. The upcoming summer shows will be our last. As of now, there are no plans for future tours or recordings.

We feel lucky to have had the support of many wonderful people over the years. We want to thank everyone who has worked with us, written kind words about us, performed with us, and inspired us.

But mostly we want to extend our gratitude to our amazing fans. You have been a part of our story from the beginning. We could not have made our music without your enthusiasm, passion, and loyalty. It is you who have made the entire journey worthwhile.

With love and thanks.

Legends. Am off to listen to 'The Woods'...
