Eight Split (But there's a tour)

Eight Split (But there's a tour)
After nine years and a gold debut album, Auckland band eight have decided to call it a day. And it is not a decision that was made lightly. Eight drummer Paul Russell had this to say:

    

"This has been a collective decision for us which has taken shape over the last few months. eight has been an important and rewarding part of our lives with some amazing times spent writing and performing together, and we are extremely grateful for the opportunities we've had to share our music over the last nine years.

  

Thank-you to everyone who has supported us, played our songs, brought the albums, and come to our shows. Your encouragement, enthusiasm and energy has been a huge inspiration."

     

Its not all bad news though. eight's long player Moving has just been certified GOLD and the band have announced they will embark on a farewell tour in late June.

   

The dates and venues are as follows:

   

Thursday June 16th - The Arc Cafe - Dunedin

Friday June 17th - The Jet Set - Christchurch

Thursday June 23rd - Valve Bar - Wellington

Friday June 24th - The Studio - Auckland

     

Tickets go on sale this coming Friday May 17th and are available from Red Tickets at your local postshop or online from http://www.redtickets.co.nz/
