After a seventeen year run and nearly a dozen albums Texas alt-rockers Centro-matic are calling it quits. The band announced, via press release, that their current run of shows will be their last.
The release describes the split as amicable, with the band “going out on a high note”. Frontman Will Johnson goes on to thank fans by saying, “One thing that has resonated with us increasingly since the start is the devotion, love and generosity within our community of fans … The climate of music has morphed into a pretty different thing since we started. Even as the times have changed around us, the connection with our fans has easily and always provided our biggest source of inspiration over this incredible journey.”
Centro-matic play Great Scott, along with Anders Parker & Cloud Badge, on December 13th.
You can check out the video for their track “Salty Disciple”, which appears on their latest album Take Pride In Your Long Odds (Navigational Transmissions, 2014), below:
