The Matches Go On Hiatus 2009-07-09 by moose1992 | 6 Comments | The Matches have decided to go on hiatus to pursue other projects after 8 years together.
The band wrote in a statement: "We’ve spent 2009 soul searching, as a group and separately, starting new projects and having lives outside of our little white tour van. We’ve been lucky to have been 4 artists (well, 5, really) involved in a nearly decade-spanning group project, and have been even luckier to have you as an audience. However, our time to start new projects has come, and right now, The Matches has become something we prefer to look back upon proudly.
"Not knowing if or when we might play together as The Matches again, we’ve decided to play a couple going-away shows in our home state of California in August. Sorry this could not be a world tour, for all of you who won't be able to make it. And for those of you who can, we want to make the shows a celebration of all of our years playing for you; including songs from our whole catalog, (yes, E. Von Dahl too!).
"We extend our endless gratitude to all of you who have listened, seen us on tour, bought a CD or t-shirt, and inspired us with your energy and enthusiasm for our art. Matches fans have always been known as being uncommonly intense and dedicated. We thank you for supporting us over the past 8 years, and hope that you’ll continue to be fans of our future music and life endeavors."
The group will play their final two shows in California next month:
Saturday August 22 Los Angeles, CA Troubadour
Sunday August 23 San Francisco, CA The Fillmore

Not too disappointed about this due to their most recent album. I'd like to see them perform some stuff off of E. Von Dahl and Decomposer on the tour though

Yes!
Annoying band.

Well considering their only good song was Sick Little Suicide, i cant say im disappointed.

Yeah that song has some fucking cool guitar riffs. Especially the intro. I thought it was a solid album, and about half of the songs on Decomposer I thought were good. This whole band is quite arrogant though.
