Tuesday, 05 April 2016
Written by Laura Johnson
Hang The Bastard have announced that their current tour will be their last.
After nearly a decade together the London band have decided to call it a day. Once their tour, which now includes a free show at the Old Blue Last in London, ends at Stoke's Underground on April 16 they will play the Holy Roar Records anniversary show in May and a final autumn show, which is yet to be confirmed, before parting ways. Check out a statement from the band below:
"After 9 years, 13 members and 17 bassists, Hang The Bastard are calling time.
We'd like to thank everyone who has helped us out, put on shows, driven us, toured with us, recorded us and drunk with us.
Special thanks goes to Christopher Barling, Sina Namati, Annail Seivad, Chris Pritchard, Steve Sears Jr. and TITAN Studios, Sam Thredder, Ollie Bill Harries, Chris Hill, Nick Searle, Dave Stanley, Mark Scurr, Phil Sanchez, Alex Fitzpatrick and Holy Roar Records, Sam Knight, Tony Boden, Ed Coleman and Secret Law Records, Billie Klein and Century Media Records, all the fill-ins & Aaron Enzo Garzia and Alice Andersen at Never Healed Records.
More than anything we'd like to thank our wives, girlfriends and families past and present for their support and putting up with us!
We will be playing the last of our UK shows over the next few weekends, followed by a short run in Europe and then headlining a stage at the Holy Roar 10th Anniversary show.
We will be planning a proper 'last show' after the Summer in London where we'll be playing songs from our first release up to the most recent.
Thank you all for your support over these years - without people watching us and headbanging we'd be nothing.
Now go back and listen to Slayer and fuckin Black Sabbath."
Amidst their headline dates Hang The Bastard will make a stop at Leeds' Ritual Fest on April 9.
