Melbourne rockers Mammal have called it quits after four years together. The band split due to “long standing personal, political, musical and business differences” according to an official statement.
I’ve got to wonder how long standing those issues could have been, given that the band hardly have the longevity of The Rolling Stones, but I guess any period fighting feels like a whole lot longer than it actually is!
“We wish to thank the fans for their unbelievably loyal and heartfelt support which gave us the opportunity to play some amazing shows, to release our records and travel the world. We will never forget these times,” the statement continued.
Those fans will be happy to know that we haven’t heard the last of the band’s members. Lead singer Ezekiel Ox plans to release a solo album, The Ox and The Fury, in 2010. Meanwhile Peter Williamson, Nick Adams, and Zane Rosanoski plan to stick together to work on an as-yet unnamed project.
