Melbourne’s Little Red are no more. The band has officially announced their break-up.
Little Red formed in 2005 and released two albums. The second album, ‘Midnight Remember’ in 2010, went to no. 5 on the ARIA chart in Australia.
The official statement at the band’s website reads:
Hi everyone,
It’s been 6 really great years of performing live across Australia and around the world, but it’s time for Little Red to say farewell, as the original members have parted ways.
After much thought and deliberation we are all in need of a new project.
* Dom and Adrian have a very exciting new band called New Gods, and are in the process of recording an EP with a single due out very soon. New Gods have also just been announced as support for The Rubens’ September/October National tour – dates and details here.
* Quang’s formed a new band, Naked Bodies and they are in the process of mixing a double a-side.
* Tom is now leading a new band called Major Tom and the Atoms, who have just launched an EP.
* Taka’s band, The Hondas, have just finished recording a full-length album and will release their first single in October.
Highlights of our time as a band were many and often; we’ve released two albums that we’re proud of in various countries, toured all around Australia, to Papua New Guinea, USA, Japan, Europe, performing at festivals including Meredith, Laneway, SXSW and many more. We’re so happy to have come this far – we’ve been given so many great opportunities and thank everyone who has helped us along the way.
Thank you to our fans – your ongoing support has been incredible.
Eternally grateful,
Little Red
