Or, the Whale emerges from hiatus for rare, possibly last show tonight
October 20, 2011
Or, the Whale is returning from a hiatus to perform a rare show tonight at The Independent, and a recent post from the band’s blog suggests that there’s some possibility this might be it for SF’s alt-country darlings:
So, here’s the deal: after a few months of “hiatus” we are playing a show at the Independent in SF. We are splitting the bill with Victoria George and there will be some collaborations in each set. Information can be found here.
In other news, after this show, the future of the band is completely up in the air. Chances are we will continue to be on hiatus – there is a small chance that we will completely cease operation. This is not a unanimous decision, so perhaps there will be a future for OTW – but in the meantime come see what is definitively our last show for a while.
Show is at 8pm, $15. We’ll keep you posted on the band’s future when we know more.
