This could be the most difficult piece of news we have ever had to post. Sadly, Phantom Planet will be playing our last show, December 12, at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, the same venue that we played our very first live all ages gig, back in 1994. We have had an amazing time playing together for 15 years, but we have officially decided to go on hiatus, and will not be playing any more live shows or making any new records, indefinitely. There is so much more to write, but at this time, we just want to say thank you, to everyone, for their support, friendship, inspiration, attendance, and love.

-alex, darren, jeff and sam.

I am sad to hear this news...I saw you guys 4 times live in concert from Nov. 2003 to July 2004 - now that's dedication!! Definitely the most times I have seen any band in just 8 months. I even met you guys in January 2004 at the Virgin Megastore in NYC...it was an awesome experience. Best of luck with all projects you guys may have in the future and I am sad that one of my favorite bands will be no longer making new music....guess I'll just have to enjoy my much loved copy of "The Guest" (my fave album by you guys)

I'm sooo sad... but at least we got to see you 4x this year - that kinda eases the pain... Best of luck to all of you in whatever path you choose. I know I won't be the only one who misses the videos and parking lot shows...

Phantom Planet was the first band I ever discovered on my own as a lonely freshman in high school. You guys have been there through all the good times and the bad. I'm very saddened by the news of this indefinite hiatus. The music has progressively gotten better with each new album. My only regret now is having missed your last show in Houston a few weeks ago at the House Of Blues. I never would have thought it'd be the last chance I ever got to see you.

Rock on brothers, wherever the music takes you, I'll still be there. And if Phantom Planet should ever rise from the dead, I'll be the first one in line to see your zombie selves. Love to you all.

This is the saddest way to start the holidays. I feel horrible because I've only just realized how much I LOVE you guys. I guess I should be thankful atleast that I've seen you twice this year and got to meet you guys in New Orleans in August. I will continue to wear my hoodie and tell everyone I know about how awesome you guys are! What am I gonna do without new youtube videos?

Hmm... "indefinitely"?

in•def•i•nitely (n-df-nt) adj.
Not definite, especially:
a. Unclear; vague.
b. Lacking precise limits: an indefinite leave of absence.
c. Uncertain; undecided: indefinite

First, the Format calls it quits at the start of the year and now Phantom Planet at the end of the year. What a sad time for music. I hope 2009 is a better one for all of us... in so many ways.

I also wish the economy were good enough to schedule time-off and book a flight out to California at such short notice.

You are one of the best live bands I have ever been lucky enough to see. When I say this, it carries a lot of weight. In saying this I place you in the company of kick-ass rock n'rollers like the Who and Superdrag whose performances, for me, have been experiences of sheer musical bliss and the beautiful presence and recognition of life.

Both the Who and Superdrag called it quits for years - and then returned - so I am going to keep that hope with me. Allow me that much...

And with that, I want to thank you for everything.

Thank you for giving us your all onstage every single time. Thank you for truly caring about your fans - you've always been kind, gracious and genuine. And thank you, most importantly, for giving us the wonderful music that will always keep Phantom Planet in our lives.

Although, I truly don't want to see you go away, I wish you each the best in your future projects - be they musical or otherwise - and know that you will always have my support.

I have seen you many times since October of 2001 at Peabody's in Cleveland.

It will always feel like one too few.

I'll miss you.

Cheers to a talented group of musicians, an amazing group of people and a collection of rock perfection - a real class act - Phantom Planet.

Much love,
Lisa

Cleveland

Wow!

I was also one of the people who never got to see you guys in concert. Maybe I took those opportunities for granted, or maybe I really just couldn't make it...either way it's an experience I am sad that I had to miss.

You obviously made this decision because you wanted to, so I suppose I cannot complain to much...

All I know is that I have enjoyed listening to you, watching you, and reading you all over the past years...so very very very very very much!!!

I wish every single one of you the best, and that you keep doing something you love and enjoy.

Much LOVE,

Rachel B. xx
