psydoll Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Don't think there's a thread on this yet...Yet another pretty-good-actually band have decided to call it a day and its only the third week of the new year. Following the recent demise of DiS faves Mclusky' date=' as well as perky pop peeps Busted et al, Ikara Colt have decided to make like the proverbial banana and split. With a manifesto borrowed from seminal hardcore troupe Huggy Bear, the Colt promised to disband on their fifth birthday and so, indeed, they have. A posting from the band to their fans reads: Dear friends Just a quick note to say that the band will be splitting up as of now. We would all like to thank everyone that came to see us, supported us and heckled us. We produced two albums and countless singles. We always said that we would split up after five years and that five years is up, better to go out this way than to turn into some old, tired and jaded outfit. As we always said this was never a career choice or a lifestyle option and sadly most bands I see seemed to be for those reasons. Cheers once again,Thank you and good night.IKARA COLT The band had recently gone from strength to strength, playing a highly attended tour of the UK, releasing their critically acclaimed second album, Modern Apprentice and scoring a trio of Top 75 singles along the way. They will be missed. [/quote'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessHolly Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 I was really disappointed the last time I saw them because they didn't seem to care, just played the songs and left. But they're still awesome, one of those bands I listen to rarely then can't take their cd out of the player for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pop-notmyface Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 that statement reminds me of when refused split up after having recorded the best "away from the mainstream" album in 1998.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
