Garage rock staple Dead Moon is packing it in after twenty years together. The Oregon-based band posted the following message on Sub Pop's website yesterday:
"After 20 yrs, Dead Moon is retiring. It has been a journey we will always treasure and feel that a worldwide family has emerged in its place. Dead Moon became much bigger than the band itself, it became a DIY underground hopeful for a lot of people. The candle is still burning!
--Fred Cole"
The band didn't waste any time in taking down its website, so this seems to truly be the end. R.I.P. Dead Moon.
