Electrelane, the band who proved it's just as fun to shower with clothes on as to mud wrestle with your neighbor, have announced an "indefinite hiatus" from their website. What does this all mean? TMT has no idea. Check out their extremely cryptic message:
We have decided that the upcoming gigs will be our last for the foreseeable future. After ten years of much fun and hard work, we have realised that we all need a break and time to do other things. This was a tough decision for us to make, but ultimately a positive one.A big thank you to everyone who has come to our shows, put on our shows, and bought our records over the years. It means a lot to us. We're really grateful to have had the opportunity to play gigs all over the world and to meet so many lovely people. This last year has been especially enjoyable and we feel happy about moving on with all these good memories to look back on. At the moment we haven't made any band plans for the future, but we're going to have a break and see what happens.
Love, Electrelane
Told you it's cryptic! Now, I can't confirm this, but seems to me like their message is a puzzle, as if they're trying to tell us something really important, but we have to "work" to understand the message. Speaking to my neighbor who I mud-wrestled last week, he thinks that "It must be a message about how they're going to release their fifth album -- I bet they'll do a Radiohead." Hmmm... I guess we'll have to wait and see if anyone can decode it.
In the meantime, expect tons of singles, albums, and tours from the one and only Electrelane!
