Unwound unwind for the last time
29 March 2002

Olympia, Washington experimental rockers Unwound, the first band to sign with Kill Rock Stars records, announced yesterday that they’re splitting up. They performed at the first-ever US edition of the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival in Los Angeles earlier this month, and began a four-show countdown to the end last night in Portland, Oregon. Here’s their full statement:

“Yes, Unwound has decided to call it quits. Due to our inability to do any touring for an indefinite period we have decided to disband. We will continue to play music in different forms (other than Unwound) in the future and also hope to release a collection of live tracks, demos, and any unreleased material there is. Also hopefully a live/tour video-movie of some sort. Apologies to those who missed their chance to see us last year due to our cancellations. We can’t begin to thank all of those who helped us over the years, so we hope you know who you are! A round of applause from us to all the fans that came and went.

“Thanks and good night!”

The final dates for Unwound:

March
28 - Portland, OR (Blackbird)
29 - Seattle, WA (Northwest Asian American Theater)
30 - Tacoma, WA (Bob's Java Jive)

April
1 - Olympia, WA (Thekla)
