Bear Vs Shark

"Marc Paffi decided that magic was more important than music. He now attends the I.S.M.G ( Indiana school for the Magically Gifted) specializing in visual illusions and cooking tricks. Mike Muldoon attempted to get into the school but failed to pass the entrance exam."
this is the best thing i have ever seen on the internet, did somebody say "wonder?"
That's immense
it beats what my old band wrote:
"Hey friends/fans of DissRA (all 3 of you),
The artists formerly known as DissRA have ceased to be. This will be the final DissRA bulletin bonanza. Due to artistic differences between the artists, the music is no longer the artistic work of art that it once was. It's been a stressful time (using the loosest possible definition of "stressful"...... and "time"). We couldn't decide on where we should hang the Rembrandt, or what colour the back of the album cd should be, whether to bathe in goats milk or cow milk, and how best to draw a fish using the phosphorus ends of Tesco's own brand matchsticks.
Nor could we decide how to burn flame retardant Biffy Clyro flyers with Zero 7 matches. As you can see, we've had a tough time, and the magic of DissRA simply could not survive through these hardships. Instead, the magic evaporated, condensed on a cold mirror, and then gently precipitated down a vast system of catacombs. We'd also like to mention that that was not a metaphor, nor any other form of literary device. Other than plain, completely true, English. We'd like to apologise for any offence this may cause to Spaniards, Congolese, Bulgarians, or any other non-English speaking folk of this modern society we live in. And we're glad that DissRA contributed to this society. We had an allottment and donated produce to local atheletes.
In conclusion, it's been a great [insert number here] months, and now it's time to say goodbye.
Rory (the Power Chord Maestro) Walker,
Alex (he's here, he's there, he's everywhere, with shorter stature and greyer hair) Dunning,
David (I didn't actually do anything, apart from write this bulletin bonanza, and some other things, that aren't quite relevant to this context. For more information, please visit www.thesneeze.com) Parkinson,
Jimmy (the resident ghost) Casper,
The Other Guy, all say farewell.
I leave you with these inspirational words from Tom Woodhead:
"with pretence of inducing vomit, you took my head and built a supermarket on it"
amazing
CYA ~~~~xxxxxoxoxoxoxxxxxx~~~~"

Wow
I never thought I'd be quoted in a "band splitting up" post. Good times.
Far less elaborate
but I seem to remember reading that when the Beautiful South split up, it was due to "musical similarities". That made me chuckle.
Faith No More's final press release
After 15 long and fruitful years, Faith No More have decided to put an end to speculation regarding their imminent break up... by breaking up
Do solo artists ever split?
I'm failing to think of examples, but there must be some.
Gruff Rhys
was thinking of it after releasing his debut solo album in 2005: "I'm considering splitting up after this record. I'm not sure exactly where, horizontally, or vertically." He didn't, thankfully.
he did it in the end

but then decided to get back together

Rhys for President!
Sabrepulse
He picked up a pretty healthy following, then err, disbanded?
any band that splits up citing
"musical similarities" gets a nod from me
The Delgados
Split because Stewart Henderson wanted out, prompting Stuart Braithwaite to comment: "God bless The Delgados, surely the only band ever to split up because of their bassist."
...
The Norwegian black metal band that split up because one member went to jail? For stabbing another member and subsequently doing unspeakable things to the disembodied head.
Mayhem?
they actually reformed afterwards although I suppose because of atila's other commitments they don't gig as much
Burzum
it was only him in Burzum, he still releases records from prison. bet they're good.
not forgetting
the other chap in the band who committed suicide.
they basically split up because there was only one man left standing after the whole debacle.
I wish they hadn't though.
Love Bear vs Shark.
fuckin a
fingers crossed the spin-off bands are anywhere near as good
Champions of History are odd but
definetely promising, if they ever release owt i'm sure it'll be fun
Cannons are a bit more meh from what i have heard of them
Not quite splitting up,
But didn't the bassist from CSS leave because she was concerned about her carbon footprint from flying all over the place with CSS?
Just goes to show that your personal Zen is more important than Rock 'n' Roll, Maaan. You can have a Good Time All The Time, as long as your carbon emissions are offset.

Drummer became a jehovas witness. Guitarist moved to Norwich.
Two big reasons.
Dammit
I clicked on your link thinking it said "a new banana day". What a let down.
How come Pantera spilt up?
How come Pantera spilt up? They gave no reason at all?
I was in a boy band ...

Didn't
Dimbebag et brother find out the singer was in some nazi cult?
