This Friday just got dismal – it’s with a heavy heart that we announce local experimental pop-rockers Pretty & Nice are going on an indefinite hiatus. The group posted the news earlier today in a status, which you can check out below, on their Facebook page.
But…there’s some good news to go along with the gloom. Pretty & Nice released a new single, “Rock N Roll Wizards,” off their upcoming Infinitely Forever EP. If Pretty & Nice is intentionally toying with our hearts with an EP title like that, well, that’d be pretty damn mean. At any rate, check out the new psychedelic pop single and be sure to snag your limited edition copy of Infinitely Forever when it drops on August 12.
Not satisfied? Pretty & Nice will be playing two more shows before their hiatus:
August 14 – Brooklyn, NY at Glasslands Gallery with Jacksie, Adult Dude, and Denizen
August 16 – Allston, MA at Great Scott with Ava Luna, Krill, and Infinity Girl

” ANNOUNCEMENT:
To Everyone Who is Still Listening:
It is with a single heavy heart that we announce that Pretty & Nice will be taking an indefinite hiatus after the release of Infinitely Forever and our shows 8/14 at Glasslands in Brooklyn, NY and 8/16 at Great Scott in Allston, MA.
Pretty & Nice started in 2005 with two best friends trying to make the music in their heads a reality. Over the 9 years that followed the band has taken many turns, changing songwriters and home cities while amassing a team of nearly a dozen former members. The goal of the band has always been to spread positive energy to everyone with whom we interacted and, in that way, we feel successful.
We’ve been on countless US tours as well as two unbelievable trips to Europe. Along the way we’ve met some of the most amazing, inspirational, and helpful people in the world. We couldn’t have done any of this without each and every one of you!
So
To the bands that brought us on tour and let us roll around onstage before them; to the cities that took us in and treated us like we were home; to anyone who let us sleep on their floors, in their guest rooms, and on their couches; to the people who came out and danced and sang and showed us why life is worth living; to the labels who helped us put our music in the hands and ears of the Universe; to the managers and booking agents and promoters who encouraged and assisted us; to the people who stood in the back of the room and then later mentioned to a couple friends that they saw this band that was kind of okay;
Thank you for making it all worthwhile. You’re with us and you’re a part of this
Infinitely Forever.
