Quitting Pink With Knives: London glitch-core punks call time

cutting pink with knives

London-based glitch-punk trio Cutting Pink With Knives - one of my favourite live acts, no question - are to call it quits once they've honoured existing commitments.

Says MySpace:

"We are splitting up. No drama, no hatred between us - just seemingly going in different directions musically, in terms of lifestyle and what we all want(ed) to achieve both with this band and with life in general. Me (Alex) and Ed will certainly be back in other bands."

These will be the band's final shows:

May
30 Liverpool Korova with I Was A Cub Scout, Rolo Tomassi
31 Bradford Love Apple

June
14 Paris I'Inattendu

July
5 Aalbeke, Belgium Farmfest
11 Birmingham Supersonic Festival with Earth, Battles, more
19 Herk, Belgium Rock Herk with Battles, Roni Size, more

"There may be one other, but probably not to be honest. Please come out and say bye."

DiS wishes CPWK members all the best for the future.

  • WANK WANK WANK WANK WANK

    • LAME

      At least i saew them [play live though!!

  • This fucking blows.

    I never got to see them live either. GAY.

  • "Worst bamd ever"

  • :(

  • Shit!

    I really wanted to see them live as well, this is fully lame news.

  • :)

    I know I'm in the minority on here, but they really are utterly tosswank! :)

  • boo

    just after i missed seeing them in glasgow, too. that liverpool gig looks great.

    • Yea it does,

      It shall be awesome, pity about CPWK.

  • EUGH

    rubbish

  • eh

    I saw them in Hitchin. I wasn't impressed by them musically, but I was impressed by the fact their set was only 10 minutes long after they got into a fight with a local skinhead.

    • That was my gig

      I was so fucked off with that situation, but the band handled it pretty well considering they had an utter fucking psycho on their hands. I said I wanted to book them again but it's now not to be :(

  • last album got boring.

  • CPWK rule, I am absolutely gutted that they have splitted up.

    :`(``````````````

  • This is a shame

    Populuxxe is possibly my number 1 album of last year, and they're great live. Only got to see them once and it doesn't look like I will get to see them before they split :(

  • Hate this band

    loads

  • *drops to knees*

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Fucking gutted is not the word - this band make me happy - and seeing them live makes me happy.

    Thus this news makes me sad.

    And i was hoping that next time i saw them I'd actually manage to get a good photo of them (i never quite manage to do it)... and now i never shall *sigh*

    Seriously gutted.

  • shite

    I have never seen them live. I fucking love this band. Major bummer.

  • WORST BAND I'VE EVER SEEN

    Really, they were fucking awful.

  • excellent news!

    these guys were consummate twats.
