Brethren and…sisthren?

First, we would like to send you all humble gratitude and reverence for all the response about our hiatus/break-up/whatever. I guess you don’t realize how many people derive meaning from what you do until you die (are we right, Kurt Cobain?). ....

Aaaanyways, here be news:

FINAL GIG:
As we previously stated, we wanna go out with a big ass fanfare of a goodbye show in Sweden. The date has been set to December 18, and the venue will be Sticky Fingers in Burst home base Gothenburg, Sweden. And yeah, this really WILL be a special occasion:

Since this is our last concert, we’d figured we’d do something awesome. Thus, the night will be divided into two sets.
For the first part we will perform our last album Lazarus Bird in its entirety. Awesome for us, awesome hopefully for you too.
The second part will consist of a sort of Best Of Burst, ie. choice cuts from all our albums: Origo, Prey On Life, Conquest: Writhe, In Coveting Ways, as well as one or two from the real early stuff.
Also, we will invite some of the guest musicians we’ve employed on our albums during the years, which means that you’ll be hearing songs colored with live saxophone, Hammond, extra guitars, percussion etc etc.

Tickets will be fairly cheap. We want this to be a great night for everyone.

PLANET CARAVAN FEST:
The frankly awesome Planet Caravan festival is going X-mas on your asses and cutting gig fee by half - this week only! So run run run and get your $40 tix asap.

MORE US DATES:
We’re getting prepared to slay the US, Old Testament-style – locusts, floods, everything. We will have special merch with us, so come on out to the shows if you wanna take this last chance to stock upon some Burst gear.
Here’s the entire list of tour dates, please observe the new addition in Richmond, VA. Oh, there might be one or two more late additions, keep your eyes open.
