After seven years, thirteen releases, and various national and international tours, Pele announced their winter 2004 tour would be their last.
The remaining members went on to various projects, most notably The Promise Ring and Paris, Texas, but also New Rising Sons, Volcano
Choir, and Collections of Colonies of Bees. « hide |
