Straight from the horse’s (singer/guitarist Justin Sinkovich) mouth:
Atombombpocketknife has been my principle creative outlet and extended family since 1997. After three albums, an EP, dozens of singles and compilation appearances, shows in twelve different countries, thousands of hours in studios, vans, and practice spaces; The family remains but the band must rest its head once and for all. Che is moving to Austin Texas, and mainly we feel pretty good about where we?ve been and to close a pretty decent-sized chapter in our lives.
You know what this means? Another 2,659 bands are about to sprout up featuring ex-Atombombpocketknife members. Let’s wait this out and see if that’s a good thing.
Their final show will be in Chicago at The Empty Bottle September 10.
Edmonton dominated the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night and the 4-0 margin in Game 6 makes it hard to imagine the Oilers not hoisting hockey’s Holy Grail above their heads in less than 48 hours. And it would not come as any shock to see defenseman Chris Pronger, who had another 31-minute night, take the honors for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.
Speaking of Atombombpocketknife, do you listen to the Poison Arrows? Their new EP ‘Straight into the Drift’ is coming out March 20 (’07). The band features Justin Sinkovich from Atombombpocketknife. I’ve heard they don’t tour much but you can catch them here:
