Skipworth Records artist Deluge have called it quits after ten years together. Deluge played their final shows last year in the UK.
Okay peeps, this is it. After almost ten years Deluge has decided to quit. We had the best times of our lives and have reached a lot of goals we set when we were only fourteen years old; playing shows in nine different countries, releasing records and have lots of fun doing it.
There are various reasons for us to break up, most importantly because it seemed impossible to find a new and solid drummer (seems like we suffered from the Spinal Tap curse ;-)) after our good friend Robert left Deluge. Without him Deluge just wasn't the same anymore and doing some shows and a small tour with Robert as a temporary drummer lately made it extra clear to us. This was Deluge and we all think it should stay like that.
Robert will now put all his effort in his main band Uppercut again and the four of us and a new drummer will appear in a new band sometime in 2004.
It's time to say goodbye, but not without thanking everyone who has been there for us all those years, especially Robert, Taco, Skippy, Maarten and Jothan.
Love,
Auke, Bart, Simon and Tobias
