Halo goodbye!

So it seems Halo have decided to ditch their drummer, their name and apparently their style of music to become The Vega Method.

Here's the news from the band:

"We have made the decision to leave behind all things Halo.

We would like to say thank you to everyone who has supported Halo over the last few years. It has been good but now we have something better. We feel that Halo has had it's day and that it is time to move onwards & indeed upwards.

With the edition of Blake on the drums and the change in our attitude towards our music, it's just not Halo anymore.

We are a new band.

We will be playing as many gigs as we can to show exactly what we are about these days. All new material.....no Halo songs.

One of the best things about our last band was our fans, we feel completely certain and more confident in this than anything we have ever done in the past and we think that you need to make up your own mind.

We are doing things our way. Its our band & our songs and we are itching to let you hear them.

We have created a new monster. It screams bloody murder to the call of:

The Vega Method"

Nice press release. I particularly liked the bit about playing no Halo songs. If you want to experience The Vega Method for yourself get to the Fleece in Bristol where they're playing on Tuesday 21st September at 10:30pm. Tickets are £5 on the door.

Halo goodbye!

I saw the band-formerly-known-as-Halo playing the 100 Club years ago, back when both they and I where at Sony.
Left before the end, couldn't take it anymore.

Re: Halo goodbye!

Even worse than King Adora

Halo goodbye!

Whatever happened to them?

Halo goodbye!

Nothing wrong with King Adora, they are a quality and serious musical outfit.

Halo goodbye!

Halo were ace. Like what Muse would be like if they were *really* fucking good.

Re: Halo goodbye!

Here I am, fighting the King Adora corner again! :p

There's nothing wrong with them at all. I've seen a stupid amount of bands this year from PJ Harvey to Biffy Clyro to Thea Gilmore to My Ruin to all bloody sorts... and surprise surprise, King Adora have pissed all over the lot of them so far!

The last two shows (London / Birmingham) from their last tour were recorded for a DVD release. I recommend you check it out when it finally comes out, you may be pleasantly surprised...

Re: Halo goodbye!

King Adora? Still going... had an album out earlier this year, which despite bad (virtually non-existent) production has an ace set of tunes... :)

Re: Halo goodbye!

They wanna get John Cornfield back in that case.

Re: Halo goodbye!

Would be nice, although the rawer sound on the new album is more similar to their live sound... :)

As far as I'm aware they had to produce it themselves due to the lack of money, was just a one-album deal with no promotion etc... *so* they're officially unsigned again...

Re: Halo goodbye!

Singer still on drugs?

Re: Halo goodbye!

Wasn't aware he ever was...

Halo goodbye!

I dunno if he was actually hooked or was into taking them.
It was one of the two and my recollection is hazy.

Halo goodbye!

Pedants' corner:

'With the edition of Blake on the drums...'

nice

Halo goodbye!

So now their not playing any Halo songs, does this mean that they will never ever not in the month that they stay together, play that Vampire song again?
I don't think I could take it.

Re: Halo goodbye!

Jesus!

Halo goodbye!

nah.the band formerly known as halo were alright when i saw them a few months back.shame about the crowd tho.but the support band, mirno i think, were a lot better.king adora are a pile of piss.they're all STD ridden.
x

Halo goodbye!

I would never say I was a fan of KA, but they were actually quite good when I saw them in May. I had went to see Jetplane Landing the night before, so King Adora would never compare!

Halo goodbye!

Whoo am I glad I didnt buy an Xbox!

Re: Halo goodbye!

king adora doesn't "piss all over" thea gilmore. thea gilmore tears off her guitar strings and hangs each member of king adora individually...

or was that just a dream i had?

Re: Halo goodbye!

No offence, I'm a huge Thea fan and I've seen her play an acoustic set to a sit-down theatre in Sale plus a full rocking set at the Stoke Sugarmill where she tore strips out of the arses of 'This Girl Is Taking Bets' et al and both nights were damn amazing...

But live, King Adora were *really* in an untouchable league of their own on the April / May tour :)

Re: Halo goodbye!

This is from someone that's given Kasabian 5 stars? Hahahahaha! :D *rolls on floor in hysterics*

Only joking, your music taste seems generally excellent... just felt like being a little childish ;)

Re: Halo goodbye!

King Adora piss over Biffy CLyro, I DONT THINK SO MATE and I think that most music fans on dis.com would also firmly disagree with you!

Re: Halo goodbye!

Jesus Christ, why is everyone so shouty on here all the time? :s

Again, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Biffy, they're definitely one of the better bands I've seen this year... just that, in my opinion, comparing their gig at the all-nighter at Rock City to say, Birmingham from the KA tour, 'twas close to the KA tour but not quite close enough...

I can see why people think Biffy are a better band, whatever floats people's boat I guess and they both float mine :)

Re: Halo goodbye!

Best post ever.

I thought Halo and King Adora were far too rubbish to be honest. I remember the fuss about how Halo were so packaged and marketed... yet I don't hear the same about Maroon 5. Weird.

Halo goodbye!

I like King Adora, I think they're great live and they're great on recording. Their singer isn't on drugs as far as I know, his girlfriend died when somebody spiked her drink at a freshers party and it messed him about badly, as it would.

Secondly, Kasabian are over-rated tripe with a load of obsessive fans including that bint that writes for The Sun.

Halo goodbye!

*Shakes head*
Poor guy - that's fucked up.

Halo goodbye!

King Adora are a great live band...

never seen Halo live, so can't comment... but one or two of the bands songs were ok!!!

and as for Kasabian... so much hype and the album is average at best... they have made a few stunning songs... but the album on the whole, is dull!!!!

Halo goodbye!

I remember Halo. Everyone said they sounded like Muse without the good bits...they were a tad poor, I must say.

Halo goodbye!

For all ur banter against HALO did anyone check out their new stuff on tuesday??

Their new stuff is a bit darker, a bit heavier and definately worth checkin out! I really hope they prove u all wrong and rise up to prove their worth of recognition, cos they deserve it!

I disagree with ur criticisms - they have the energy, the vocals, the skill and r f***ing amazing live!

Re: Halo goodbye!

har har. i heart king adora despite their STDs.

Halo gone? good, they were wank.
