British rock outfit Miss Black America have decided to go on hiatus, taking time out to focus on side-projects. Considered by some (including me) as the best-kept secret in Britain, Miss Black America have released two albums to date, and were a favourite of the late John Peel.
In a statement sent out via the mailing list, vocalist Seymour Glass said: "I've come to realise that I've got to take a break if I'm ever going to want to make music again."
He continued: "I'm not putting the band on 'indefinite hiatus', saying we're outright splitting up, or anything silly like that, but it's definitely time to do a few other things before I go insane."
The band are set to play one more gig before they go, so get yo' ass down to it...
