The four-piece band from Phoenix, who describe themselves as “a glorious mess of punk urgency, emo confessions, psychedelic detours, and folk backbone,” took to Instagram on Dec. 5 to break the news to fans.
“Hello everybody, Bummer Girl is breaking up,” the band’s statement bluntly began. “Thank you for the best 7 years we could ask for When we started this we never even expected to play a live show. We are so grateful for all of you who have shown up and supported us through these years.”
However, the psychedelic music group hinted at a few more future treats for longtime fans, including a farewell show.
“We have a bunch of archived music and videos that we plan on releasing in the future as well as one more final show TBA. THANK YOU,” the band concluded.
