Remember Remember announce split
Glasgow sextet Remember Remember have announced they are to split up, playing their final show at this month’s West End Festival.
Writing on the group’s blog, band leader Graeme Ronald states: “Remember Remember was never supposed to be a 'band' in the conventional sense, more of an open collective with members free to come and go whenever they pleased.
“I'm eternally grateful to everyone that played at any gig and any record, and particularly to the the guys that stayed, and made me realise that a 'conventional band' isn't a bad thing after all… music, like most things, is much more fun with friends.”
Remember Remember released a self-titled debut LP in 2008, followed by the RR Scorpii EP in 2010 and second full-length The Quickening a year later. The group featured on the cover of our July 2014 issue on the release of their five-star third album Forgetting The Present, and they were on the bill at our night at the Pleasance Sessions back in October.
Speaking to The Skinny last summer, the band made reference to the “large scale” nature of their ambitions: “It's harder and harder, when you're not making a great deal of money from music, to actually do something, especially on a large scale. And we tried regardless, which is what the whole Forgetting The Present notion is.
“It's worth trying to make big statements, even though it's economically more difficult.”
Remember Remember’s final gig is at the West End Festival’s all-dayer at Òran Mór on Sunday 21 June; they are joined on the line-up by The Phantom Band, RM Hubbert and Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat amongst others.
