Metz announce indefinite hiatus following their UK/EU shows next month
Canadian punk/noise-rock band Metz have announced that their forthcoming European and UK tour dates will be their last.
“Our upcoming EU/UK Tour will be our last. We’ve collectively decided to close this chapter of METZ. The band will be on “indefinite hiatus” while we take time to focus on other endeavours and enjoy more time at home with our families," the band shared in a statement.
"For the last 15+ years, we’ve dedicated our lives to this band and have had the immense privilege and pleasure of touring the globe and seeing the world. It has been nothing short of life-affirming. METZ has brought an immeasurable amount of joy to our lives and it’s our sincere hope it’s brought you some joy too. We are so grateful to all of you who’ve joined us along the way and have made this life a reality for the three of us."
"Love and gratitude to the inspiring and supportive network of family, friends, musicians, artists, labels, photographers, bookers, writers, journalists, independent record store owners, college radio DJ’s, and music fans that make this symbiotic wheel keep spinning," the continued.
"If you’ve ever attended a METZ show, you know it was more than a band to us. We gave every ounce of ourselves to METZ, and it will be very hard to let it go. The intangible feeling of connection, community, and inclusivity that music creates has always been at the heart of what we do and will inevitably be what we miss the most. We will miss singing, screaming, sweating, and dancing with all of you."
METZ’s final tour is scheduled for 2-29 November, culminating with a show at London's Village Underground. For more information, visit metzztem.com.
