Good for Sandrider, but what a major bummer.

I never did pick up "Jersey Shore" or whatever the last one was. I'm a big fan of "forging Steel..." and "Navigating the Bronze" though.

Why do good bands break up and Linkin Park just keeps on truckin? Must be $omething I'm not $eeing....

Jersey Shores. Get on it, it's wonderful.

In Akimbo's case, I assume they're going to focus on making Sandrider great(er) instead.

Well, they definitely went out on a high note. Jersey Shores is just such a fantastic album. Bits of hardcore mixed with stoner-like riffs, mixed with classic rock guitar tones. Amazing. Iota played a show with them back with it first came out, and on that tour they were playing the entire album from front to back. Spot on, note for note.

I read an interview where they said after that tour they never played another song from Jersey Shores live again, since they they said you couldn't just play one without the others.

I saw one of those Jersey Shores shows and it was one of the highlights of my year. Unfortunately I haven't seen them since, but if that's the last Akimbo show I see, fuck it was good.

Not to derail the thread, but what's going on with Iota? I saw the Crucial Fest date while checking in with other bands and had a happy attack. Serial Hawk is a good'un from Seattle, too.

This is sad, sad news. One of my favorite all time bands. Long live Sandrider.

cyber, Iota appears to be retired.

however, the lead singer has moved on to form Dwellers, who released a new album recently, and picked up right where Iota left off (see linky below). I will miss Iota though..."Tales" is one of my favorite rock albums of the last 10 years.

Bummer...but they definitely went out on top w/ Jersey Shores, one of the few unfuckwithable albums I've heard over the past few years...really wish I had gotten the chance to see them live...need to check out that Sandrider album.

We are playing that Crucial Fest show, and will just play Tales from front to back - since that's about all we remember how to play at this point! Ha! Been rehearsing for a couple months now and it's sounding pretty good. Andy is friends with the fest's creator, and I think he asked him if we'd do it. Every year they get some SLC bands to get back together, so it's kind of a thing. Yup. There you have it. It's a special deal. We'll see what happens after that.
