Bands With New Directions

The Long Blondes have announced their split, which has seemed inevitable really since that cancelled tour: "We have decided to call it a day. The main reason for this is that I suffered from a stroke in June and unfortunately I do not know when / if I will be well enough to play guitar again. On behalf of the band I'd like to say a big thank you to anyone who ever came to one of our shows, bought one of our records or danced to one of our songs in a club. Thank you, if it wasn't for you the whole thing would have been pointless. Finally on a personal note, thanks for all your well wishing messages. Dorian xxx"

Having recorded The Streets' last album this year, Mike Skinner has gone in the self help book direction. You can learn about it at Myspace.com/thesteets.
