Genghis Tron Talk Hiatus

Posted in Bands on October 15, 2010

Genghis Tron look to have gone on hiatus for the time being. Speaking on the situation the band offered the following collective statement:

“Hey everybody,

Things have been pretty quiet for Genghis Tron recently, which has led some folks to ask us if we’re breaking up. Well, we definitely aren’t breaking up, but we have decided to take some time away from the band.

It will be a while before we release another record — and probably even longer before we play shows. However, this was the best thing we could do to make sure that GT keeps writing some real toe-tappers. Whenever we come back, it will probably be pretty weird and really good.

Thanks for all of the support,

Mookie, Michael, and Hamilton
