October 13, 2007, 17 years ago
Swedish garage rocker THE HELLACOPTERS, which includes former ENTOMBED drummer Nicke Andersson on guitar/vocals, have issued the following update:
"After nearly thirteen years as The Hellacopters we're now sad to tell you that we are breaking up. The reasons behind this very difficult decision are many and too personal to go into here.Playing in a rock and roll band isn't always a walk in the park, but thanks to all of you who rocked out with us at sweaty clubs, rainy festivals or at home by the stereo throughout the years, it's been a fantastic trip. We'll never forget your support.
We recently finished mixing our seventh and last studio album and it'll be released early next year according to initial plans. We feel like we wanna say one last Goodbye to you and throw in the towel with a bang, so we're aiming to do a farewell tour through Europe and Scandinavia sometime in the spring. So you're not getting rid of us just yet."
As previously reported, the vinyl version of the band's new single 'The Same Lame Story', was released on August 10th via Bootleg Booze Records. The exclusive b-side is 'It's All Moving Faster', originally by ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN. Pressing: 1,000 transparent red with black splatter. 200 copies come in a screen-printed cardboard box with an exclusive sticker only available to Bootleg Booze vinyl club members.
