The worst headline ever can't mask the hard fact of this matter: Birmingham's Distophia - ever so good, y'know - have called it quits.
The four-piece's long-awaited debut album, Beat Dyslexia, never actually found its way to release. Do we blame the label in question? We could, but let us not wag guilt-sniffing fingers at this juncture. Here's a MySpace bulletin thing:
Unfortunately we have decided to call it day.
Thanks to all the people who've helped us out along the way.
We just couldn't hold on any longer.
We will try and sort out an online shop for those of you who still want Beat Dyslexia.
We will have a new band at some point in the future but Distophia is now officially over.
And that, as I'm about to conclude, is that. I interviewed Distophia once. They were nice. I saw one of them throw up once, too. That, not so nice.
We're now accepting submissions for our next mixtapes, please submit your info at www. coast2coastsubmissions. com for your chance to get a spot on the next mixtape!

Firstly, Friday night we have a great folk/country/blues show. Time Lag Recording artists Elephant Micah is headlining with his ace lo-fi country-folk songs. He was the recent tour support for Jason Molina which gives you an idea of his style. Last record was described by The Wire as "A beautiful slice of narcoleptic folk that captures the lugubrious nothing-to-do feel of late summer days as well as the slow motion dance of dust in a ray of sunlight." Yup.

Also on sale now:
Everyone To The Anderson + Lebanons. Tues. 2nd Sept. 8pm, £5. (Quality post hardcore from Brighton/Tunbridge Wells!)
