Thrice Taking A Lengthy Break
Long running post-punk act Thrice has announced that they will be “taking a break from being a full-time band.” The band’s official statement is adamant that they will not be breaking up but that their upcoming spring tour will be the last for a very lengthy stretch. Dustin issued a statement:
“…I don’t know what the future looks like for Thrice, or for any of us individually. I do know that I would love to make more music in the future with them, as well as play some shows or short tours, but for the time being, I need to step out of the role of full time touring/recording musician, and will do so after this tour. I will continue to make music in various capacities I’m sure, and continue in my work as a Worship Director at Mars Hill Church in Orange County.I know this will be very disappointing news to many people, and for that I am truly sorry. The amount of support and love we’ve been given in our career is staggering and overwhelming. I know I’m biased, but I think we have the best fans in the world. This upcoming tour should be a lot of fun. We are planning for it to be somewhat of a celebration of the last 13 years and I’m sure we’ll be breaking out a bunch of songs that have been buried in the archives. I hope to see you out there to celebrate with us….”
The band released their latest studio album, Major/Minor earlier this year on long time label Vagrant Records.
