Sad day for music....
...well, for me I guess.
From the DFA1979 site:
As of August 3, 2006 the band is officially dead. Jesse F. Keeler posted this on the official Death From Above 1979 forum:
"i know its been forever since i wrote anything on here. im sure by now most of you assume the band isnt happening anymore since there are no shows, no work on a new album, etc. well. i wanted to let you know that your assumptions are correct. we decided to stop doing the band... actually we decided that almost a year ago. we finished off our scheduled tour dates because there were good people working for us who relied on us to make a living and buy christmas presents and pay rent etc. we couldnt just cancel everything and leave them out to dry... plus i think we wanted to see if we would reconsider after being out on the road. our label was really hoping that we would change our minds, so they asked us to keep quiet about the decision for at first. well, its been quite awhile now and we are still very sure the band wont happen again, so i guess its time to say something.

be assured, it's a sad day for me too…
nein!nein!nein!
As sad as it is, from what I've met of them, Jesse is a sweet guy and Sebastian is an asshole. Therefore, I'm sad for the music but happy for Jesse. Let's see where MSTRKRFT goes.
By the way, this is from one of the times I saw them.
Jesse has said in multiple interviews that he's always wanted to make DANCE music, and that his inputs into DFA were overpowered by Seb's metal vision. So thus MSTRKRFT was born.
