Current mood:  thankful
After 4 years of practicing 3 days a week, touring, recording and doing what we love, it's come to a sad end.

Thanks to everyone who supported us, put us up, came to a show, bought a shirt or told someone that we were worth a listen.

We destroyed 3 vans, crippled our overdrafts and tried our very hardest to do this for as long as we could. This has been a life changing experience for us all and I cannot imagine a better way of living your life.

Anyone who's been in band will appreciate that trying to do this full time is fucking difficult. It takes commitment, compromise and dedication. But sometimes even that's not enough.

The Mirimar Disaster was a band that wrote music that pleased themselves and didn't give a fuck whether you liked it or not. The fact that people did was a bonus and for that we are very gratefull. We wern't a fashion band, a metal band or a ripp off. Just 5 dudes trying to write original, interesting music and working to live our life on the road.

We've put all the tracks up from our last release 'Volumes', so for those who didn't buy the record can still listen to it. It's something we are immensely proud of and huge thanks to Jason Sanderson for making it sound better than any of us could have imagined. We also have a tonne of shirts left, we'll be selling it off cheap as fuck very soon for anyone that gives a shit.

Thanks again to everyone and keep a look out for new bands forming in the future.

You shall be sadly missed! I'll have a cheap T-shirt off you provided it's not one of the two designs I already have...

Suppose I should get that big ol' Phlegm designed poster up on my wall, but I actually want to get it framed.

All the best with whatever each of you decides to do now!

It was my sons first introduction to live music that weekend,and you were without doubt one of the handful of great bands that we saw.
All the best for any future  projects.

Hey Dean, it's me Glenn, I was one of the promotors when you were on tour in Belgium with the guys of Errander. It's sad to hear you broke up, cause I really like your music. Though I never got the chance to see you play. Hope you're well. x

I also want a t-shirt if there are some going since I don't have one!

God Damn you, I'll always remember seeing you guys play without a vocalist when you were supporting I can't remember who, but I always thought you stole the show :P

Only 3 days a week? No wonder you sucked.

Best band in the UK, hands down. Such a shame but you guys all deserve to be happy and well fed, not broke and starving! x x x

Shit! only just stumbled across this while faffing about on last.fm. Gutted about the news but had many good times seeing you guys live in sheffield, nottingham or wherever, always a pleasure to watch and listen to but times move on i guess. All the best.
