The Juliana Theory break up

Just seven months after signing with Abacus Recordings, The Juliana Theory have called it quits. Here's a statement from the band: "It's a very sad moment for us. The time has come to say goodbye. This letter is the explanation and the official seal that the 5 individuals who have been known as The Juliana Theory are leaving the band behind. Yes, what we are saying is that we are broke up. There will be no final tour. Our last show was in Cologne, Germany on January 28, 2006. When the band formed in 1997, our goal was to record a 3-song demo tape and to play a couple of shows in the Greensburg/Pittsburgh area. Looking back on everything that we've done, we far surpassed anything we ever thought possible when we started this thing. It's been a wonderful ride and we all have many, many fond memories. We have chosen to end the band for practical reasons. There is no fighting between the 5 of us. We are as close as we have ever been. We just know it is time to say goodnight. We've been blessed in so many ways to have been able to do this for 9 years. However, many things have led to the decision to stop, although the thought of our die-hard fans has made it much more difficult. We wanted to thank all of you who have bought our records, come to our shows, bought our merchandise, downloaded our songs, shared our music with your friends, set up shows for us, housed us, fed us, worked to promote us, shared the road with us, and shared your experiences with us. We are nothing without you all. We know it sounds clich, but we couldnt be more honest. We have some of the sweetest and most loyal fans, family, and friends in the world. We are indebted to you all. Everyone who has worked along with us, and all of the fans that have stuck with us deserve our deepest praise. We have been honored by the love that has been poured out on us for the past 9 years. Thank you all so much. In short, that's all there is to say. We could easily end this statement here, in fact, we are happy to end it here. But, to end speculation, those of you who are inquisitive can read below the dotted line for the extended story (and when we say, "Extended," we mean it. It might as well be a book)."
