kurhaus torn off

Kurhaus from Northern Germany have released a brilliant old-school hardcore album at the end of 2006 and I was looking forward to seeing them on the CMAR Fest 2007. Now they disband. And even though it's pathetic and many people won't even care, here's a short version of what they had to say at last:

"We were all teenagers when we started this band and we would have never expected that we would keep it going for so long or that we would be playing so many, so great shows at places so far away and even abroad. However we were always clear that this band would only exist in this line-up with the five of us and no one else. In a band based on friendship no one is replaceable. This does also mean that if one person doesn't want to go on anymore then we would have to quit. This point has been reached now.

Actually this point has already been reached quite a while ago but because the band was so important to us we didn't want to realize it. Now the big bang has come, swearwords were used and it would be a bad idea if we climbed our old VW bus this Friday to play Cry Me A River festival. We are sorry but we had to pull the emergency brake. To keep it possible for us to stay friends we had to sacrifice the band. In the past almost eleven years we have simply drifted apart from each other, our tastes in music as well as our real life situations. We can't speak with one voice anymore. So we keep silent.

All gigs have been cancelled and there won't be a farewell show, either. It's a pity but it would be dishonest. We don't want anymore and we can't anymore. We apologize to everyone who is disappointed right now, who has planned to do a show with us or who wanted to see us one more time.

[...]

The last Kurhaus show took place at JUZ St. Ingbert on June 16th 2007. The last song we've ever played was "die or get rich tryin'". The last line of this song is "oh let this be the end". As if we would have known...

Take care, thanks a lot we'll meet again. We are not dead, are we?

KURHAUS (1996 - 2007)"
