This sucks! Especially, since I never got a chance to see 'em live. From ambitious-outsiders:

Yes, Bobby Wratten's band says goodbye to live stages. Mind you, ONLY to live concerts, though! Bobby has been feeling uneasy with live shows for some time, and he has finally decided to not play live anymore and concentrate instead on studio recordings. They will still record and make records, just not play gigs anymore (something already done in the past by another illustrious name from Elefant: our dearly loved LE
MANS).

Finally, TREMBLING BLUE STARS will end their gig life with a farewell tour on the US East Coast, where they have always been very well received. On these concerts the British band will play some of the classic tracks on their discography, and they will surely introduce as well some of the tracks on their latest releases on Elefant Records, the album "The seven autumn flowers" and the CD-EP "Bathed in blue". Our hearts will fly to the USA to give the last goodbye to live shows by a
seminal indie-pop band, heir of the splendid saga started with THE FIELD MICE, and fortunately we will still enjoy their music and new recordings for a long time from now on.

These are the dates of their last ever tour:

9/24: Maxwell's, Hoboken, NJ (support TBA)

9/27: Mill Creek Tavern, Philadelphia, PA (w/ The Snow Fairies)

9/28: DC9, Washington, DC (w/Sprites + The Positions)

9/29: Magnetic Field, Brooklyn, NY (w/Sharp Things + TBA)

9/30: Rothko, NYC, NY (w/Sprites + Pas/Cal + TBA)

10/1: Popfest, Northhampton, MA (w/Sharp Things and others TBA)

I saw TBS live twice - once as a full band, once just Bobby solo...

I was sad when I heard about this - from what I'd heard, it was just going to be one more album coming out next year - but if he carries on making records, all the better for us...

That 9/30 show is pants-creamable. If any NY peeps pass up the chance to see TBS w/ PAS/CAL, well...I just don't know what I'm going to do with you.

Whew! For a minute there, I thought no one cared. Thank you, Kyle.

Too many memories with this band, good lyrics though.

Actually I think they are too emotional, never thought I would think that way of a band but I do.
