Dancing Days Are Over.

What a bummer – one of the absolute best, rockingest pop groups of the past few years, killed by Disappointing Second Album syndrome and going-for-the-big-push tour burn-out.

Still, their goodbye message is so characteristically upbeat, it’s hard to feel too down about it;

“We have decided that we will be putting Those Dancing Days to bed for a while. We have been together as a band for almost six years now and have had such an amazing time - we have grown up together, created together, seen the world together. We have been so incredibly lucky and feel so honoured that so many have appreciated our music. As a young band we have had the pleasure of being role models for other young musicians - something we have found incredibly fulfilling and important - and especially to young female musicians like ourselves. Go girls - never doubt yourselves and never stop dreaming! After we played the Popaganda festival this last weekend we felt it was the perfect ending to the summer and a good time for us to say good bye for a while. We want to explore things on our own for a change; some of us will go back to school, some of us will be taking jobs - and without a doubt all of us will explore new musical settings. To all our fans - thank you for being wonderful! We hope to see you again in the future and until we do - live and love!

Let’s remember the good times, etc:








For a special treat, if you go here, you can see a music-industry-type podcast thingy with them being interviewed and playing some tunes at my place of work. It was a fantastic gig.

Here's wishing them all the best with those new musical settings.
