Break-ups: The Mexican Blackbirds (2002-2006)

Tacoma, WA's Mexican Blackbirds have called it quits. The band posted the following on their website:

Well... Thanks for all the kicks peeps. We're done. We wrapped it in Blackbird fashion at Bob's Java Jive on Saturday, March 25th. It's not the end, it just is what is what it is. There's new things in the wings. Just you wait.

The band featured vocalist Chris Trashcan (of the `zine Trashcan), drummer Jill Trueblood (formerly of the Valentine Killers), guitarists Mekko Pillbox and Corey Knafelz, and bassist Marty Sparks. Their most recent full length was 2003's Dirtnap released Just to Spite You. In 2005 the band released an EP titled Fear of Texas on Mortville Records.
