The band is opposed to self-publicizing, with a lot ofthe members being anarchists, and most of their fan base is made by word-of-mouth. Godspeed You! Black Emperor went on an indefinitehiatus in 2003, but reformed in 2010. Several side projects have bloomed into full time works for the members of Godspeed, such as A SilverMt. Zion, Fly Pan Am and 1 Speed Bike. « hide
