Sick of Et Al: This Et Al call it quits
Posted: 19 Jun '08, 14:35
Yorkshire-based four-piece This Et Al have split.
Says frontman Wu via e-mail: "Hope you appreciate my witty headline". Comedy gold, mate. And the rest...
Hello all.
It is with great regret we announce the end of This Et Al.
We've had a great time as TEA but cracks have been forming over the past few years, some relationships within the band had broken down and we've now decided to move on with other things. Further releases were planned but TEA has sadly become unworkable.
We extend our thanks and gratitude (and apologies) to all the lovely people we've worked with or made slaves of over the years, our true friends, our families and of course to all the folks who've made the effort to see us play and buy our records. Thank you.
There are no immediate plans for new projects but there will be in time, so it isn't all bad news. Watch this space.
We had high hopes for our latest EP to lead to an album, but it's sadly the only new material we will be releasing. Only 500 were made so head over to On The Bone to pick one up.
As a fond TEA farewell, we will be releasing the originally planned retrospective B-Sides & Rarities collection (details TBA), including B-sides (obviously) and other unreleased material (some you may have, some you may not). Keep your eye on ThisEtAl.com or MySpace for updates.
Lots and lots of love.
Over and out…
TEA Team x

Real shame

should have put it on the obituary pun thread

Yeah, that's some pretty good punnage.

That headline belongs in the earlier pun thread!
but yes a real shame. Everything On The Bone have ever released has been wonderful!

I saw this band support Minus The Bear once
they were shit!

Tool.

The fallout continues.
Why are so many bands that I like dying and all the shit ones still about?
I am looking at you Pigeon Detectives.

Sad news
They had the potential to be Leeds' best of the lot.

Tragic

The new EP is fucking great though. I just would have loved to have heard the album!

Possibly the most underrated band of the decade
This a sore sore shame.

Shit news
One of the best Leeds bands going. It's just not fair is it?
Echo the thoughts on the Pigeon Detectives, wish they would fuck off.

WU!
it was a great tour working with you guys and Minus The Bear in 2006. Best of luck with the future...I still hear in my head at most soundchecks "we're marching to moscow tomorrow!" haunt me till death.
