Youthmovies are bowing their heads with a final UK tour in late March.
They proved themselves as one of the UK’s most interesting and musically diverse independent bands, with a dynamic and passionate delivery which led to critics calling them “Unclassifiable” (Q Magazine), "indefinable and incomparable" (Rock Sound) and "Weird, but fucking wonderful" (The Fly) to list but a few. But as happens all too often, it’s those with the most heart that sometimes step aside.
Lead singer Andrew Mears had this to say: “There's a part of me that would love this to be an amputated, acerbic mess of a break-up, for the romance of it, but we're still friends, still love to play and there's no attitude about any of this; we're all at good points in our lives, just very different ones. Life has spread us out over the country now and it's become a logistical nightmare to get our shit together. I think there was a good chance that had we made the next record, our distance would have had a bad affect on the music. We've always been close and it's the only way we know how to work with one and other. So, not wanting to tar what we've done in the past, we're calling it a day and looking to the future...”
Youthmovies will be performing in five cities, visiting some of their more treasured places with good friend Adam Gnade in support on all shows:
Tue 23 March - Edinburgh Sneaky Pete's
Wed 24 March - Manchester Deaf Institute Thu 25 March - Leeds Brudenell Social Club Fri 26 March - London Borderline Sat 27 March - Oxford O2 Academy
Every member of the band will be continuing with many creative projects within the arts whether it be production, literature, music or something else. This will not be the last you’ll see.
