Calico System (1998-2007)

Eulogy act Calico System is calling it a day. The band made the announcement via MySpace:

Reasons? You want reasons? I don’t have to explain myself to you!! But I’ll sum it up by saying that it just didn’t make sense to remain a band anymore. Music rules, but the music BUSINESS sucks and had taken its toll on all of us.

NO, you cannot find the CD anywhere. We’re not happy about it either (biting tongue…) because we’re really proud of the fucking thing! Good thing there’s internet downloading!

The band most recently released Outside are the Vultures.
