This is an article I wrote in November of 2008, after learning of a much circulated (not really) rumor that the Toto-tribute band Coldplay would break up at the end of 2009. The publication of this article coincides with the unveiling of my new website where I will count down the days till Moses Martin is finally legal.
From NME.com:
Just minutes after it was announced that Coldplay would be splitting up at the end of 2009, the BRIT award winning band Keane announced that they too would also end at the end of 2009.
"I just think the band has run it's course," front man Tom Chaplin said on Friday. The band, best known for their 2004 hit single "Somewhere Only We Know", agrees with Coldplay that bands tend to overstay their welcome as they get older.
"I mean, I'm 32 years old mate," pianist Tim-Rice Oxley said at a press conference. "I can't be rocking out in my knickers when I'm a 63 year old. Coldplay has helped us realize that we too have run our course."
But that doesn't mean fans should loose hope for a future reunion. Chaplin said that, "If Coldplay reunites within the next few years, I can see that as an appropriate time for a reunion tour. Maybe even a new record."
There is no word yet on if the news of Coldplay's break up has affected the of careers Snow Patrol, The Kooks, The Fray, Augustana, Travis, or Mute Math.
