Blood Brothers Call it Quits + M.I.A. to Play Seattle (Hopefully)
Last week Seattle band the Blood Brothers announced its decision to break up in this blog post on the band’s myspace page.
THANK YOU AND GOODBYE
Dear Friends,
After 10 years of making music as The Blood Brothers, we have made the collective decision that our time together has come to an end. We feel extremely fortunate to have spent such a deeply memorable and amazing part of our lives with each other. At this point, however, we feel it’s best that our futures move forward on separate paths. We’d like to express our sincerest thanks and gratitude to all the bands we’ve played with, individuals who have helped us make our records, and fans who have come to our shows and picked up our music throughout the years. Your friendship, support and love hold such a profoundly special place in each of our hearts. We hope that the memories you attach to our music are as fond as those you have given us. Thank you and take care, we’ll miss all of you.
Love,
The Blood Brothers
Over the past decade the Blood Brothers has been a front runner of the Seattle hardcore scene. The band has played such Seattle events as the Capital Hill Block party and has built a rather large following of fans across the country. The band has released eight records, as well as EPs and DVDs. The band’s latest release was 2006’s Young Machetes.
In other news the amazing M.I.A. is playing the Showbox SoDo tomorrow night. The Sri Lankan rapper has been banned from the United States in the past years. The past couple of times she was scheduled to play in Seattle the shows have been canceled, because she couldn’t get across the border.
Her new record, Kala, was released in August. This album was partially recorded in India and Africa and she blends her hip-hop style with native beats and rhythms.
Let’s hope she makes it across the border this time.
