crime Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I just read the following message on facebook (posted by a Toronto promoter) "The THURSDAY with MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER, ZECHS MARQUISE, NATIVE show on Friday will be Thursday's LAST TOUR! Don't miss out on your last chance to see them in Toronto. Tickets still available in advance or at the door!!" Ummm I never read anything about Thursday breaking up or not touring anymore.

weepingwillow Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 here the post for anyone who can't get to the link: “look thrice, Imma Let you finish, but…” Yup. Yesterday thrice, today Thursday. Crazy coincidence for two bands that have led such parallel and intersecting lives. We would’ve spaced our announcement out and given the dust a chance to settle but we are about to play a bunch of shows and we didn’t want anyone to miss the chance to see us one more time, so here it goes… If you’re reading this long version of our statement, you’ve probably had some interaction with Thursday. We’ve been a band for thirteen years. We’ve played an uncountable number of shows, ranging from living rooms to stadiums. We’ve talked to every Zine, blog, Daily, Weekly, Monthly periodical… We’ve talked to every College, Commercial and Public Radio Station and sometimes we just hung out on the street talking to strangers. Maybe we met you. Maybe we worked together somewhere. Maybe you saw us or heard us with friends. Whatever the case may be, we owe you thanks. You’ve allowed us to be a band for thirteen years, to travel the world, to make records, to meet all of the people we’ve grown to love. And to open for our idols, work with our heroes, employ our friends (the best crew around) and see our dreams made real. This year, Thursday has had so much to celebrate: our new record, No Devolución, came out ten years, to the week, after the record that was to become our touchstone: Full Collapse. To have one record still being celebrated a decade after it’s release and another to be met with such critical acclaim was really more than we ever could’ve imagined. We just wanted to play basement shows in New Brunswick. It’s funny… That sounds like a well-worn line now but it’s absolutely the truth. Well, if you’ve been touched by our music or our dedication or our embarrassingly out-of-fashion sincerity, then this is for you, friend: thank you for letting us make No Devolución. We hope you’ve heard it. We say “beg, borrow or steal… music is an idea… ideas are free” but we encourage you to support our fantastically sweet and hardworking label, Epitaph, by buying it if you can afford to. Despite the fantastic year that the band has enjoyed, creatively, things haven’t been as easy for us on a personal level. Without diving into detail, it’s fair to say that this year has been an endless series of personal difficulties. We haven’t had any falling out and are all still close. I’m sure that we will continue to create, in some capacity, together. We’ve talked about turning Thursday into something else: a non-profit, a band that only records sporadically, a collection of other projects… Underneath it all, the personal circumstances involved make it impossible to continue Thursday in the spirit that has made it special. So, we stop. For now, at least. We hope to see many of you at these last shows. They’ll be a lot of fun. We promise. Lots of love, Geoff & Tom & Tucker & Steve & Andrew & Tim & Lukas (Thursday) Upcoming Tour Dates: Nov. 23 – New York, NY – Irving Plaza Nov. 25 – Toronto, ON – Opera House Nov. 26 – Pittsburgh, PA – Altar Bar Nov. 27 – Milwaukee, WI – Turner Hall Nov. 28 – Cleveland Heights, OH – Grog Shop Nov. 30 – Atlanta, GA – The Loft Dec. 01 – Cincinnati, OH – 20TH Century Theatre Dec. 02 – Chicago, IL – Bottom Lounge Dec. 03 – Pontiac, MI – The Eagle Theater Dec. 04 – Rochester, NY – Montage Music Hall Dec. 26 – Sayreville, NJ – Starland Ballroom Dec. 27 – Washington, D.C. – 9:30 Club Dec. 28 – New Haven, CT – Toad’s Place Dec. 29 – Boston, MA – Royale Boston Dec. 30 – Philadelphia, PA – Theatre Of Living Arts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow i cant believe that the first time i saw them was already 10 years ago. I was lucky to catch them open for Rival Schools during the full collapse tour that came through Florida and even though I'm not a huge fan, that was a great show.

strangerdanger3 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Thursday was my best friend thru out junior high and high school. The bond that made my brother and I beat friends. The band I've actually shed a tear out of happiness when seeing live. News of them calling it a day is disheartening but that band did more for me and a group of people than the Beatles did for the 60's and following generations.

jblahmaster Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Honestly i wasn't surprised to hear about this and thrice. It's still disappointing, though. Both bands released great albums until the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
