For anyone who was a fan of them...
Much-loved American rock act Sleater Kinney have called it a day after more than a decade.
The band, featuring Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker and Janet Weiss, will honour their touring commitments before bidding au revoir to their indie brothers and sisters.
In a statement they said: "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."
Bit of a kick in the teeth i mean after making such a strong album as The Woods but i wont go off on one and moan about it i gladly saw them live while i could and am happy for that and all the other great albums they leave us with.
Long Live SK.
