One of the best miserable bands have split up. This makes me sad. This is what their website said:
Chemikal Underground issued this announcement today concerning The Delgados...
The Delgados, influential figures in Glasgow's independent music scene for over 10 years, have announced that they are to amicably disband. The reason has been put down to the departure of their bass player Stewart Henderson who informed the band in the New Year that he did not wish to make another album. The Delgados have always been known as uniquely collaborative songwriters and as such, it was decided that the band could not continue without all of its original members.
The Delgados leave behind them 5 critically acclaimed albums including The Great Eastern, Hate and last year's Universal Audio. Their two principal songwriters Emma Pollock and Alun Woodward will be pursuing individual projects and drummer Paul Savage will continue production duties at the band's Chem19 Studios in Hamilton.
The four friends will continue to run their record label Chemikal Underground in this, its 10th Anniversary year, with releases scheduled for Malcolm Middleton, Mother & The Addicts and Arab Strap. They are extremely grateful to everyone who has supported The Delgados over the course of their career.
We would especially like to thank all of our fans for your wonderful support. Don't be too upset everyone...get a massive carry out, turn the stereo up and play your albums at full volume.
Anyone else sad about this?

no, never heard of tjhem

Yeah. I just discovered them a few months ago, when I borrowed Hate from a friend. Wonderful music, shame I'll never get to see them.
-
Wait a few minutes, they'll form a new band with the remaining members and a new name.

on a side note, 2 more posts Muffy, get ready to throw the horns

I hate to say it, but I'm actually kind of relieved. It's all been downhill since Peloton, I haven't even dared to hear Universal Audio after the bland horror that was Hate.
-
sniff sniff, gutted these guys were great. I don't think they'll reform etc more likely to put their time into the label.
got my online name from a bside on their sucrose cd :(

This makes me very sad =( I also only got into them a few months ago, and now I will never get to see them in concert or anything. Suckage.

Though I admit I have only heard Hate(which was incredibly awesome), I am sad to see them disband, oh at least there will be solo projects :)
