Alabama Thunderpussy Break Up was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (BW&BK) Alabama Thunderpussy have called it a day. Guitarist Erik Larson has issued a statement explaining the breakup: "It's been a very quiet 2008 from us here in ATP thus far. I know there has been speculation and uncertainty about exactly what the status of the band is, and our apologies go out to y'all for being MIA. Finally, I'm able to give you an update. The beginning of 2008 brought yet more upheaval in the saga that is this band, when (vocalist) Kyle Thomas left the group to focus on his family and the impending EXHORDER reunion.
The remaining four of us had a band meeting and after serious discussion, decided to take a much deserved/needed few months hiatus to regroup and focus on home life and other individual projects. The 'few months' seemed to flow into a bit longer as the summer progressed and we all dug deeper into our lives as individuals outside of ATP.
Well, we finally regrouped and after much deliberation and thoughtful discussion, we have decided to end the band. There are no hard feelings between us and no bulls*** politics. It's pretty much just the end of an era - more on this story
