Charlottefield Split

09th May 2008 | by Aidan Williamson

The headline doesn't lie. Brighton's Charlottefield announced yesterday that they had called it a day on the project. There is a little light left before the tunnel crumbles though.

We'll let the band explain: “Charlottefield have split up. We played our last show supporting 'Old Time Relijun' at the Albert, Brighton, April 22nd, 2008. Eight years and two days after our first [show], and split, without fighting, the following morning.”

"There will be one more Charlottefield record, an E.P which we have recorded but have yet to mix, and possibly a couple of other artefacts from the mountain of stuff we have accumulated [which] might one day see the light of day, but there will (thank god) be no “last ever show” or anything like that."

"There is a huge list of people to thank but i don't wanna get too reminiscent typing it so i will just say, if you ever drove us anywhere, put us on, put us up, put us out, put up with us, gave us money (suckers), watched a show, heckled, brought a record, fed us, lent us equipment, recorded us (whether or not you got paid), took us on tour, shared a stage, did sound, offered advice (we probably didn't listen), flew us out to Spain, played our record on the radio or to your mates: thank you very much, please remember us kindly."

The band previously released the critically acclaimed album "What Are Friends For" back in January of this year. For the Strange Glue review, click here.
