Evita Split Up

• 13th Oct 2009

Bristol based Evita have announced that they are splitting up. Please find below a statement from the band.

We are sad to announce that Evita has come to an end.

We understand this will come as a shock to many people, but we feel
that disbanding was a decision we had to make. We still remain very
good friends but various commitments made it impossible for us to
devote as much time to the band as we would like.

In the three years since we formed, we have had many member changes
and we felt that the final line up was one we could not change, with
every member of the band was vital to it functioning successfully.
This band was formed by Aaron and a group of friends as a hobby aged
just 17, and we did not expect to ever do any of the things we did,
such as playing shows in other countries and appearing in magazines.
We're so proud of everything we accomplished, however for the band to
progress all of it's members needed to be 100% committed, and this was
not possible with university and job commitments as well as other
musical projects taking priority in our personal lives.

We felt that we were able to produce music we loved and were
passionate about, perform shows we were proud of and do it with our
best friends, and to have shared it with thousands of people across
the UK and Europe is the best feeling we could have ever had.

Our debut album 'Minutes and Miles' is still available through Basick
Records so please buy it as they will NEVER be printed again.

We will be playing our LAST EVER SHOW in our hometown of Bristol on
Friday October 30th at the Croft. It’s Hallowe’en so we’ll all be in
fancy dress so come check it out! – Spookyfest Facebook Group.
