larrikin love

West London's Larrikin Love have announced today that they are to split.

The band made the announcement via a blog posting on MySpace, it reading thus:

"Larrikin Love have announced today that they have split up. The band would like to thank all their fans for their support and love over the last two years and assure them that all is amicable between the four members.

Further details of ongoing projects from all members will be announced in the fullness of time.

Love

The Larrikins"

The band released their debut album The Freedom Spark to mixed reviews in late Autumn last year. It is not known yet if they will fulfil their touring commitments - DiS will keep you posted.

Larrikin Love

Ed has spent the last month

recording his solo album, so I'm not really surprised.

That's a shame

They were a good band and seemed like nice people whenever I saw em. Oh well, at least they didn't outstay their welcome.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I thought...

...they were great live - probably better than on record, although I haven't heard the album only demos and singles so can't really comment on that

looks like

the Transgressive Roadshow is without a headliner then..

scrobble_this | 4 May '07, 15:58 | X | Reply

They realy arent that bad

saw them @ southampton uni and they did a good show. Before they were signed to transgressive they were good.

prof-kitsch @scrobble_this | 4 May '07, 17:14 | X | Reply

They were ok.

I'm not exactly shedding tears at their demise though.

IrishMagpie | 4 May '07, 17:32 | X | Reply

great

one less indie guitar band.

yes_ | 4 May '07, 17:46 | X | Reply

i liked

larrikin love.and i don't think they suited transgressive at all. i am very much looking forward to edward's solo material. i expect good things.

diabolo @yes_ | 4 May '07, 18:25 | X | Reply

fuck all of you guyzzz.

'happy as annie' is such a tune.

I was stood next to Ed Larrikin

For about two hours a few weeks back. He never said anything to me about this, the deceitful bastard

Transgressive

are just a bit shit

HighT | 4 May '07, 20:48 | X | Reply

Oh...

- would have been good to see them one more time before they split.

Im counting on a Patrick Wolf and Edward superband now.

Transgressive

are a really good label, in my opinion.
I saw them play live 3 times, they were only good in their solo show, and I was never a devoted fan.

Jambo31 @HighT | 5 May '07, 07:53 | X | Reply

you want to fuck all of us !

What a stamina !

lyle @fishplums | 5 May '07, 09:07 | X | Reply

No loss.

I was never a massive fan, but they aint half as bad as some people are making out. Follow the leader, I suppose.

chuckbarris @wrightylew | 6 May '07, 11:03 | X | Reply

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Larrkins were ok. Trangressive is a good label . Loads of new talent on there .

brit @chuckbarris | 6 May '07, 14:45 | X | Reply

agreed.

Jeremy warmsley blew them off the stage.

benthemod @sarkyfox | 6 May '07, 19:08 | X | Reply

It's been rescheduled

for august time.

benthemod @scrobble_this | 6 May '07, 19:08 | X | Reply

Transgressive = awsum

for getting some decent Regina released, j_wo, Ladyfuzz... but I'm yet to be convinced about Battle and Larrikin Love never convinced me either. Foals are kind of growing on me a bit.

AGH

me = dumB - can never remember to click 'Post a new comment' and not 'Reply'.

deadcats @deadcats | 6 May '07, 23:10 | X | Reply

It seems

that these new bands can't last too long. I've only heard SIX QUEENS so far, and it went unnotices.

onslow @CathyRose | 7 May '07, 10:47 | X | Reply

faux pas

i meant warners. but then, i don't think they were apt for transgressive either. a shame about the shows cancellation, good luck with the reschedule.

diabolo @TimD | 8 May '07, 12:38 | X | Reply

Woah there

I really didn't expect that, and the band were at the top of their game.
