SEE YOU NEXT… UH… WHEN?

Add See You Next Tuesday to the list of bands that seem to be breaking up while claiming they’re not breaking up. To wit, this statement from the band:

“After much time and thought we, See You Next Tuesday, have decided to go on hiatus for a undetermined amount of time. It could be months, it could be years, we don’t really know at the moment. It was a very difficult decision for us to make, but after a string of bad luck that has lasted for almost two years, it doesn’t seem logical or even possible for us to really continue touring at our normal pace or at all.

“With that said, I’d also like to mention that we are not disbanding. All of us share a common love for this band and our music. We plan on continuing on where we left off with ‘Intervals’ some time in the future. We just need time to focus on real life. Get our lives set once again, and then we can continue on with See You Next Tuesday.”

The thing is, a “hiatus” of years would ostensibly be equivalent to a break-up followed by a reunion. You can call it whatever you want, but the bottom line is there won’t be any See You Next Tuesday.

That’s too bad ’cause See You Next Tuesday are a good band. But there’s not a lot of money to be made in metal, and especially not grind, so I understand where the group is coming from.

Still, bummer.

Your last chance to see SYNT for could be a good long time (or ever) is their current tour with Arsonists Get All the Girls. Get tour dates here.
