YCNI:M is dead

And I was hoping the first post proper would be a happy one...

"Indefinate haitus"

Two words which more often enough mean only one thing - 'thats's all folks, you may hear from us again, but it's unlikely'

And so the fantastic Yourcodenameis:Milo get added to the list of haitees (that probably isn't a word but we probably need an adjective for those who are on haitus so who cares - answers below please). No reason given, no warning, no reason to think things amiss. Suddenly they are gone. Such is the music industry sometimes.

Quite frankly this sucks. YCNI:M were a fantastic band in my mind. Quirky and complicated with some of the sharpest, clearest vocals around. Live they were fantastic as well. I was lucky enough to catch them on their last trip to Cam supporting BIffy CLyro and they blew me away with a wall of sound as tight a musical noose, even when executing the most audacious tempo changeto end the set. They even bettered Biffy that night, and that is no mean feat

Seriously, if anybody listening like their rock a little bit on the experimental side of things with lots of time and tempo changes and complex song structures you could do far worse than get yourself a copy of either of their superb full albums - 'Ignoto' and 'They Came From The Sun'

Even if you don't at least give them a listen at their myspace

ly really got into the band properly at the end of easter term but I; never forget cutting my head open on Producer Charles' ceiling playing 17 from Ignoto. Even with a bloody head it stil sounded great.

There's a picture floating around somewhere now I think of it.

A little tip - if you want to be the centre of attention at a party, bleed a lot

Come back soon guys, don't let it be the type of haitus that never ends

soundtrack - Yourcodenameis:Milo - I'm Impressed (from the album 'They Came From The Sun)
