It would seem that former Beta Band man Steve Mason has called it quits on his King Biscuit Time project.

The band's forthcoming tour dates have been pulled, with a spokesman adding that Mason has "had enough".

King Biscuit Time's debut album, Black Gold, will still be released. Expect it to 'drop' on May 15th.

The tour was due to start in Belfast on May 12th and wind up in Glasgow on May 23rd. If you've got tickets, um, go get your money back already.

          He hates the way the music industry works which is why the Beat Band broke up.

            a reason to break up a band though is it.

            It's the same as saying "Oh, I never want children I don't like the state of the world"

              I would say thats more understandable than this, certainly more important than music, why would anyone wish this world on another person, I wouldn't.

                How refreshing it is to read someone saying that.

    a fellow 'student journo' at uni nicked an interview with the Beta Band off me and then said he'd wished I'd done it as they were really rude to him and made him look silly - I'd have probably cried.

    • I remember a Beta Band interview with Steve Lamacq

      They were HORRIBLE to him. If I was Lammo I'd have walked out. Just deliberately obnoxious, not 'cool' in any way at all.

      he's just not a very nice person. Maybe people don't get on with him.
