Title: The end of the Delgados
Post by: lily1 on April 08, 2005, 12:54:00 pm

The Delgados, influential figures in Glasgow's independent
 music scene for over 10 years, have announced that they
 are to amicably disband.  The reason has been put down to
 the departure of their bass player Stewart Henderson who
 informed the band in the New Year that he did not wish to
 make another album.  The Delgados have always been known
 as uniquely collaborative songwriters and as such, it was
 decided that the band could not continue without all of
 its original members.
 
 The Delgados leave behind them 5 critically acclaimed
 albums including The Great Eastern, Hate and last year's
 Universal Audio.  Their two principal songwriters Emma
 Pollock and Alun Woodward will be pursuing individual
 projects and drummer Paul Savage will continue production
 duties at the band's Chem19 Studios in Hamilton.
 
 The four friends will continue to run their record label
 Chemikal Underground in this, its 10th Anniversary year,
 with releases scheduled for Malcolm Middleton, Mother &
 The Addicts and Arab Strap.  They are extremely grateful
 to everyone who has supported The Delgados over the course
 of their career.

 Looking back they should have stopped after hate.

they had a good run. it's hard to justify most bands sticking around after 10 years. ever hear their cover of "the dirge" by the new bad things? i think it's on some march records comp. always one of my favorite random songs.

I thought "The Light Before We Land" was a decent song...but I've not heard much else of their stuff.

i think that in the short run i like hate more, but i get tired of it faster than universal audio...which i'd listen to twice in a row but can't with hate.
