Shed Seven Split

added 24 October 2003 at 14.53

On the day that Concorde flies it’s last journey, indie DIY men Shed Seven have revealed that they plan to split when they complete next month’s UK tour. Rick Witter and co put their demise down to increasing pressures the band felt. He was keen to stress that the decision was a mutual one, made by all members of the band together.

 In a statement on the band’s website Witter said,

“Although we feel that certain aspects of the music industry have put a strain on the recording side of things in recent years, the one thing that has remained consistent throughout has been the band’s love of performing live and their ability to please the fans by giving 100% every time. This is exactly what we plan to do at these last remaining shows, making a special effort to play what people want to hear. This means all the obvious faves plus some lost gems that we perhaps haven’t played in a long time.”

The Yorkshire based band got together in 1991 and enjoyed relative success during Britpop’s heyday.

Tickets for the band’s swansong tour are still available and tour dates are as follows:

 

  • Northampton Roadmender November (20)
  • Cambridge Junction (24)
  • Dudley JB's (25)
  • Brighton Concorde 2 (27)
  • Nottingham Rock City (December 9) 
  •  Leicester University (11)
  • Glasgow Carling Academy (13)
  • Leeds Metropolitan (14) 
  •  Manchester University (16)
  • London Shepherds Bush Empire (17)
