The more I think about it...Ultimately this is bollocks. You split up, and blame the world? Cry. It's publicity hungry nonsense.
There's nothing on earth stopping them making music and playing gigs and having ordinary everyday jobs like the absolute majority of bands in this country. Ireland's too small and too stupid to maintain an actual music scene of any note. And frankly Ape Sanglidge's music isn't good enough to work in an international context. Every country in the world is trying to maintain it's own shitty fluff-rock bands. They don't need interlopers.
I mean, if you really think that the system is fucked, initiate change. DOn't just down tools and say it's the fault of teh consumer in this post-bubble-bursting world. Offer them "content" and "product" they might actually want. Or do it for the sheer love of it, cos you can't give it up. ANd you'll work in a crummy office taking shit because those night son stage and those nights in the studio are what it's all about.
There's something quite entitled about this. People, you didn't love us enough, so now try living in a world without us. That world, for me, seems fine.
But I'd bet money, if I had any, that this will not be the end.
This might be my favourite ever post
