Seventh Cross to Split. Details of their last shows.

We regretably announce that Worcester five piece, The Seventh Cross, have decided to call it a day and part ways. The band will be playing two, possibly three last shows in the UK, with the all dayer on May 20th being their last London show.

London Calling will miss this band terribly and wishes all of the boys the best of luck.



From the band themselves:

hey.

as any of you who've been paying attention to the band will know, jon quit the band a month or so ago. we were bummed as he's been with the band since day 1 and he's a great dude, but we were gonna try and replace him. but then Jim started thinking about the band i guess, and after reflecting on the situation, he has decided to follow suit. he feels the band's best is in the past and it's time to move on. bum out. myself, reynolds and JJ don't feel the same, but as we've just lost the last 2 original members we feel it would be a bit fraudulent to carry on. napalm death, we are not. we're all a bit gutted, but that's life.

so, we're going to play some last shows.

London, the Underworld, Sunday 20th May w/ loadsa bands
TBC Leeds, the Fenton, Friday 25th may w/ clone the fragile, deal with it and betray these angels
Hereford, the Herdsman, Saturday 26th may w/ others tbc

the london show is an all dayer with loads of awesome bands, check the flyer:



note we're not on the flyer as we're a late addition to the bill, and that stout have pulled out.

as you can see the leeds show is TBC. i have booked the venue, but jim is a little unsure it's worth doing a leeds show because he thinks no one gives a shit. so, if you would like to see us do a leeds show, please comment to that jim can see it's worth doing. this isn't some dumb comment me pls i need attention0 thing, we're genuinely having trouble convincing jim it's worth it, and you can help us. i really want a last leeds show, it's my home town and leeds has always been good to the seventh cross, so yell on our myspace if you want us to do it. i'm not kidding. don't yell = no show.

so that's it, after these 2 (poss 3) final shows, the band is dead. we will be playing mainly songs from our full length scorched by the flames on vengeance so come down, have a dance and help us lay this beast to rest. we'll be selling off our remaining merch real cheap too. we could print some dumb last show shirt but this isn't about seperating you and your money, so we won't.

i think jon and jim are taking a break from bands for a while. JJ is looking for members to join with him in a black/death metal band nhor__@hotmail.com or get his myspace link in our members section. reynolds is already talking to a couple of well known UK metalcore bands about filling their vacant drum stools, so you'll all be seeing plenty of him and his cock soon enough. me and him are also planning on starting up a new group too, maybe with JJ if we can convince him to join. i have a new band too, HONOUR AMONG THIEVES which you should check out if you can be bothered.

we'd like to thank everyone for their support over the lifetime of the band, there are way too many people to mention but i'm sure they all know who they are. we've had a lot of good times and none of us will ever forget it.

keep it real, and keep it metal.


cheers

sheep & the seventh cross.
