Hot on the heels of all sorts of successes and indie band milestones that last year brought them (signing to Saddle Creek-check, music video on MTV2-check, Emmy nomination-check, appearance on Conan-check, European and US tours-check) the word on the street is that Georgie James broke up.
DCist writes an elaborate report so we don’t have to, as dealing with our emotions in this situation is enough.
Instead, we will post a photo homage. Its been good times:
All in technicolor and irreverence.
Enjoy.

First Be Your Own Pet and now this? I’m sad. Shucks.

Can’t say I didn’t see this coming.
August 4, 2008 at 2:42 pmbfd. i just may piss someone off by saying this (and i know some people who write for this site personally know and like these guys, so i’m sorry if i offend), but i have to: yawn. fucking yawn, ok. the music was boring. i’ve felt more emotion making doodies.
August 4, 2008 at 11:49 pmhopefully this will set the stage for a q and not u reunion (one can dream?)
August 5, 2008 at 11:28 ameddie - I completely agree. I like Laura’s solo stuff but I could never get into Georgie James. I never listened to Q and not U (mainly because it’s a stupid name) so I don’t know if I like their stuff.
August 5, 2008 at 11:58 amWell, I will still go out of my way to see Laura solo.
As for DC and our high hopes? At least we’ve still got Chuck Brown. And I hear there are some great jam bands from NOVA. And the ashes of Fugazi in an urn in the Smithsonian.
August 5, 2008 at 2:35 pmI had high hopes for Dead Meadow and Thao Nguyen and the Get Down Stay Down. But they all moved to California. Boo. And the two chicks left Le Loup.
At least Benjy Ferree has a new album coming out soon.
P.S. Michael, Q and Not U was utterly awesome.
August 5, 2008 at 2:47 pmThao Nguyen and the Get Down Stay Down moved to cali?? fuck! that’s a ‘let down, stay down’.
August 5, 2008 at 5:50 pmthat picture of someone jumping in the hall is me. i find that funny.
