Talking of bands splitting, Larrikin Love have announced they are splitting up, despite their short time in the spotlight. The band announced their amicable split on Friday, saying: "Larrikin Love have announced today that they have split up. The band would like to thank all their fans for their support and love over the last two years and assure them that all is amicable between the four members. Further details of ongoing projects from all members will be announced in the fullness of time".
All of which means that an upcoming tour by record label Transgressive, due to be headlined by Larrikin Love, has been cancelled. The tour was due to visit Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool and Bristol this week. Confirming the cancellation, the label said yesterday: "It was a difficult decision, but without a headliner we weren't confident of bringing the full Transgressive live experience to you all. Despite our best efforts, we could not persuade them [Larrikin Love] to make these special gigs their farewell shows. Rest assured, we'll reschedule the dates with new headliners, probably for Freshers in September. Full refunds are available from point of purchase".
