El Colosso are splitting up..., bass Neil has decided to leave the fold and rather than attempt to replace such an integral member of the band we're going to end it here, without neil on bass it just wouldn't be el colosso. The good news is though that we're going to play two last shows, at the kings alfs on august 8th and a special last show that we'll be curating on friday august 28th. Would be fantastic if folk can come out to either of these shows and give us a decent send off! Lastly, a massive thankyou to anyone that's booked us for a gig, played with us, been along to one of our shows, or even just listened to a track on our myspace! Bye & lots of love. El colosso.
