The New Frontiers Announce Split, Play One More Show
By Kevin
Texas based alt-country band The New Frontiers announced on Sunday via MySpace that the band will be splitting up. The news came one day after the band canceled all of their upcoming tour dates except a show in Dallas, their hometown, on November 1.
In the statement released by the band, no reason was given for the split. Read that statement below.
It’s never fun to tell people news they don’t want to hear so I’ll get right to it: The New Frontiers are quitting. It’s been a priceless experience, writing music together and sharing it with all of you in our travels across America, but the time has come for us to move on to other things. There are so many people out there that we couldn’t possibly thank you all for the support you’ve given us through the years. Giving us a place to stay on tours, making care packages for us, coming out to shows, buying records, feeding us, the list really does go on and on… We could not have done it for as long as we did without you. We’ll be playing a couple final shows here on the home front in Dallas and we would love to see any and all of you who can make it out. Thanks for taking part in the life of our band. We will miss you all…
The strange thing about this break-up is that the band just released their debut album, Mending, in February. The band had been picking up steam on the road and had landed some nice opening slots including a recent tour with The Honorary Title. They even had a song featured in The Real World season finale. Honestly, I didn’t know that show was still being produced.
This break-up is a head scratcher.
