On Tuesday a decision was made by the members of Wellington based group Electrolite to break up the band. Certain people were not enjoying playing with the group and the direction that the music was heading in.
Luke Marlow and Karl Fitzpatrick are looking to form a new band with a more pop/radio friendly sound. Oliver Labone will form a new project with a slightly darker and more ambient side than previously seen, while at the same time still including rockier songs.
On a personal note, I would like to thank everyone who has supported and encouraged us over the last eight months. I have had an excellent time and been amazed at the reception we have had from the Wellington music scene. It's a shame that it has all come to an end so soon, just as we had begun building a reputation for ourselves. Unfortunately, I didn't have much of a choice in the matter and had to concede to the majority and end it at this point.
Altogether we played 8 gigs over a period of 5 months, not a bad track record. Thanks to the venues: Valve, Bodega, Indigo, and The Cross; we had many different experiences at these places but enjoyed them all. Thanks also to Blink photography and Sticky Fingers.
If you ever saw us live, thank you, and I hope you took something good away from it. I'll keep you guys informed on future projects from all members. Until later.
