A Dozen Furies Calls it a Day

By Cindy Chaffin of Life Outside The Bubble

According to A Dozen Furies' official website, the band has decided to part ways for good...

"There really is no point in drawing this out longer than it needs to be, so I'll try and be quick and to the point. After two amazing short years, A Dozen Furies has called it a day. We could go on and on about all of the reasons why, but when it comes down to it, it's because we've grown apart. I guess a lot of the 'wrong' things fell into place at the 'right' time. I'm sure some might think we were a flash in the pan and now that our 15 seconds is over, we are quitting. Well, most of us have been doing this for close to 10 years and it's just time for some of us to move on."

"With that said, we would like to express our more sincere thanks to everyone who was with us at any point along the way. All of the fans we've made, friends we've met, bands we toured with, and industry people we've befriended amongst our travels, we'd like to say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. All of you have helped us achieve in just 2 years something that most bands never get to experience in their entire careers. This will be something that none of us will ever forget, and we hope most of you who did run across our path won't forget as well."

"Who knows what will happen with us after the split. Some of us will continue pursuing music, some will move on with the rest of our lives... We all have myspace pages linked from www.myspace.com/adozenfuries so you can keep up with us if you do so desire."

I don't know about you, but my impression from reading between the lines of both the above farewell note, as well as what's on their website makes me think this ain't a fond farewell. In fact, they will NOT be performing at their final show on May 6th at the Ridglea Theater as originally planned.

Drummer Mike Miller has already put the word out that he's looking to join another darn fine band, so drop him a note if you are in need of one kick-ass drummer.

Good luck to the guys, and thanks for the last couple of rockin' years.
