NO!!! I was so into Rainer Maria back in college. I saw them multiple times at The Black Cat and would blast 'Breakfast Of Champions' at the loudest volume on my interchangable 5-disc stereo! Sigh. I guess it's been a while since they've produced anything of quality but still this is sad sad news. Bitchfork has more: The end of 2006 will also bring the end of Rainer Maria, as the long-running band announced today that they will call it quits after two final shows, taking place December 15 and December 16 at Philadelphia's First Unitarian Church and New York City's Bowery Ballroom. Singer/bassist Caithlin De Marrais, guitarist Kyle Fischer, and drummer William Kuehn released the following statement:
"We are grateful to our new listeners and especially our longtime fans for their endless support and attention. We feel incredibly fortunate to have come up during a unique time in rock music, in a community that grew with us from the Midwest to Brooklyn and beyond. Making records has always been a revelation, and walking onto stage together we found a vision we could share.
"For us, this transition can be nothing short of heartbreaking. But for reasons both musical and personal, the three of us have chosen this time to move on."
See you on 12/16 @ The Bowery.
