Pretty Girls in the grave: Seattle punks split
- Artists:
- Pretty Girls Make Graves »
Rubbish.
Seattle's finest pop-hooked punks Pretty Girls Make Graves are calling it quits after five-plus years together and three well-received albums.
Drummer Nick Dewitt (far right of picture) left the band a little while ago, and this has been cited as a reason to disband the five-piece for good.
A message on the band's website reads:
"We are sorry to announce that our upcoming tour in May will be our last. Nick quit the band and the rest of us feel like it wouldn't be right to continue on without him. The five of us feel very lucky to have met and worked with some truly amazing people over the years. Thank you all so much."
PGMG's third and final album, Elan Vital, was released through Matador last year. For the band's final tour dates (in the US), please continue to check their website via the above link (there's nothing in the shows section as yet).

totally shocked at this.
sad girls for life, INDEED.
GRRR!!
first The Radio Dept cancel their gig in Nottingham and now this.
2007 = shit.
What horrible news...
I'm going to light a candle and listen to the new romance tonight.
arrg...
another band i never got to see live :(
terrible
shame! thankfully i have seen them, too many bands split before i get the chance to catch them the selfish gits
sounds ace
I'll do the same!
Only ever saw them once
and they were on one of those NME show bills at Brixton Academy. They were completely lost on a big stage which was a great pity.
this makes me sad.
their last album was one of my favourites of last year. 'pyrite pedestal' is truly awesome.
RUBBISH.
I missed their show at the 100 club for no good reason.
then this happens.
rubbish.
SHIT.
Thats about all. I was wearing my bloody t-shirt of theirs today and all, now i come home to hear this. Boooooo...
oh
:(
dammmit
I never even got to see them live! argh!
:o :'(
Fuck!!!! :'( :'( :'(
boooo!
saw em with the blood brothers which was great, so that's something to hold onto
damnit
i really thought this band were gonna go so many places.. seen them live twice, but i still want to see them again..
this is a bit shit
but elan vital well received? I thought it was panned
I liked it.
a lot actually.
lame
well glad i got to see them live. they owned leeds festival 04! (i think).
i was at that.
...the only time i ever saw them. they were awesome.
Downer.
The first time I saw PGMG is one of the best gigs I've ever seen. The last time I saw them is one of the most forgettable. I'm glad they pulled the plug before it got really shit. I'll listen to their first few records for a long time yet.
