BEAK> ANNOUNCE DEPARTURE OF GEOFF BARROW AFTER THE UPCOMING LIVE DATES
BEAK> have made a statement today announcing the departure of Geoff Barrow from the band after the upcoming live dates (including select NA dates next year). The band statement is as follows:
"After nearly 16 years of bad language & random tempo decisions, Geoff is sadly leaving BEAK>.
Our shows in the UK and Europe this year and the USA shows early next year will be his last ones with us.
When we first met for a jam at the Invada Christmas party in 2008 we had no idea it would result in a collection of albums, singles, EPs and soundtracks we’re all really proud of.
In terms of future BEAK> activity there’s life in the old dog yet, but we need time to mourn our Geoff. New music and activity will come along when the time is right.
And for now, the 3 of us are going to rehearse for this upcoming tour and make these final set of shows with Geoff really memorable for us and our fans.
Thanks to all our fans old and new for all your support over these last 16 years.
BEAK> xxx"
Geoff Barrow adds:
"About 16 years ago 3 like-minded musical strangers got together in a studio to make some music and didn’t care if anyone heard it or not. That session turned into the first BEAK> album. 16 years on, after 4 albums and hundreds of shows around the world, it has ended up being the most joyful musical journey I’ve ever experienced. Unfortunately, due to a dodgy ankle and other work I need to do before I get too old, it’s time for me to move on from being the mumbling drummer."
He continues, "In life, you know when it’s time to quit touring and now’s that time for me. Thanks to everyone that has tolerated me over the last 16 years of BEAK> records and gigs - especially Billy, Will & Matt: your musicianship and friendship has truly enriched my life far more than you will ever know. I wish BEAK> all the best. I know there will be some absolute killer records to come in the future. I’m looking forward to my new role as BEAK>’s idiotic & musically inept A&R person at INVADA."
