Planes Mistaken For Stars have posted an explanation for their recent split.
The band collectively said that there were many reasons for their split including family ties and financial strain, but that the over-riding reasons was that they “just felt it was time”. They went onto say there was no angry splitting and finished by saying:
“I have no doubt that we could continue to write balls to the wall music. Maybe someday, but for now, it’s just time for change. It’s been one hell of a ride! The past 10 years have flown by and we’ve had experiences we could never have dreamed of. Thank you all for being a part of it. And so, Farewell!”
Daft Punk have announced they will release a live Cd this year.
