mp3 :: Parts & Labor > No Nostalgia
Monday, October 17th, 2011I recently heard that Parts & Labor are going on an “extended hiatus”. Here is their statement regarding the hiatus…
Dear friends,
This January, Parts & Labor turns 10 years old. We’re planning a string of celebratory shows, in which we play selected material from all of our full length albums, leading up to a big 10th anniversary blow out on February 24th, 2012.
Following these performances, we’re going to take an extended hiatus. We feel incredibly fortunate having had a decade of amazing experiences — making records and new friends, performing with so many killer musicians and artists. But it’s time for each of us to focus on personal projects for a while. We’re all going to continue to make music through other endeavors.
We’d like to thank everyone who’s supported us, bought our albums, seen us live, offered us a floor to sleep on. We love y’all. As a token of our esteem, we’re giving away a final song called “No Nostalgia (featuring Todd Bailey and Where’s The Party At)”, which was recorded during the Receivers sessions, but suddenly seems all too prescient.
Love,
Dan/BJ/Joe (Parts & Labor)
Here is that final song.
Listen.

I don’t know about you, but when I heard the epic “Fractured Skies” for the first time I swear my brain melted. I had to find out who was playing, and I needed to hear more of it. This song restored my faith in punk rock. I hope it does the same for you.

Instead of getting bummed out, we should all get excited for what Dan, BJ, and Joe will be creating in the future.
