After several US tours, a European tour, and numerous releases, they disbanded in May 2003. Guitarist Mike Taylor cited struggles withmaintaining a large line-up due to schedule conflicts, and issues with drinking as major reasons for why Pg. 99 broke up. Taylor also said, "Itwas like a dysfunctional family where a group of people needed to give each other some space and clarity." Two releases completed before thegroup's break up have yet to see light: a DVD compiling various live footage, and a split 10" with City of Caterpillar containing both band's lastsongs recorded.
Pg. 99 will perform a one-off reunion performance in August 2011. The group will perform Document #8 in its entirety at the Best Friend's Dayfestival in Richmond, Virginia. When asked about the future of the band, Taylor said: "We felt that if [Best Friend's Day] went well—how we play,how we sound, how we felt—we'd be up for more. If we're going to do it, it's gotta be right and has to feel good. Community is one of the thingsthat made Pg. 99 gigs so special." After the Best Friend's Day festival sold out, Pg. 99 scheduled a second performance on August 27 at TheBlack Cat in Washington, DC. « hide |
