ISIS Decide To Call It Quits, Last Show in Montreal
In a post on ISIS’ blog, the band talks about the reasons for their breakup…
“In the interest of preserving the love we have of this band, for each other, for the music made and for all the people who have continually supported us, it is time to bring it to a close. We’ve had a much longer run than we ever expected we would and accomplished a great deal more than we ever imagined possible. The last and perhaps most important thing we might say in relation to all this is how grateful we are for the people that have supported us over the years. It is quite true that we would never have done what we have without those people, that is many of you who are reading this. Our words can never fully express what we feel, but we hope that our music and the efforts made to bring it into being can serve as a more proper expression of gratitude for this life and for everyone in it. Thank you.”
They will be continuing on with their final tour, with their last show being played right here in Montreal, on June 23 at Club Soda. ”It seems fitting that the last show of the tour and of our active existence will take place in Montreal, the site of the very first ISIS show in 1997 (though that was an unintentional move when booking the show initially).
Not only will they be continuing on with their tour, but the band will be completing some unfinished projects such as live audio and video releases, and completing a final EP (!).
