Break-ups: Despistado (2001-2005)

Jade Tree has confirmed the rumours which have been flying around since late December that Despistado has broken up. The label had this to say:

We are sad to announce that our favorite prairie darlings have decided to
call it quits, the Canadian lads that make up Despistado have opted to
move on. The band, whom signed to Jade Tree late last year, quickly
reissued their stellar The Emergency Response CDEP to rave reviews and
spent much of this past Fall on the road, touring with the Weakerthans and
then again as part of the Radio Takeover tour. They leave with their
legacy an astonishing full length entitled, The People Of And Their
Verses, which we will release digitally April 5th. The twelve new tracks
reveal a band in top form; filled to the brim with gritty yelps, trebly
guitars, and a stabbing rhythm section, it is in many ways the best
farewell they could have offered - we wish the various members much luck
and success in all their endeavors.

The band released The Emergency Response last year. They also have a farewall show lined up for January 21st at The State in Regina.
