McKenzies split, sadness ensues

    My thick skull was slow to process that the McKenzies' Aug. 29 show at Mango's was tagged its "Bye Bye" show, which the Press confirmed is not a "see you later" kind of show but rather something more permanent. It was confirmed by this post on their MySpace page:

    "Hello everyone. Just wanted to let you know that The McKenzies will be breaking up. Our last show will be Aug. 29th at Mangos. I will let u know who else will be playing with us when i get some confirmations. Thanx for everything guys!! We love you!!"

    This, after they played a new tune Sunday at the Free Press' Summerfest. Sadness.

    I'll miss their enchanting power pop songs and him/her harmonies while sitting sadly in my dinosaur shirt. My kid -- a fan of The Devil Loves Us -- may never forgive them.

    "which the Press confirmed is not a "see you later" kind of show but rather something more permanent."  Hello?

    Umm, Andrew dude, on Monday we here at 29-95 mentioned the farwell show ( http://www.29-95.com/music/story/summer-fest-award-winners ). But nice to know that it's not considered "confirmed" until the Houston press says it's confirmed.

    Yeah, I just saw your Awards post about 2 minutes after I posted that. Eep. Great pic of Hot Stuff. He proved a bolder dresser than I was.

    Argh, that was some funky wording in the last sentence.
