Hey Mercedes

Well, I just wanted to give my regrets.

Yesterday a friend drove me 4 hours to Chicago to see a band called Hey Mercedes, who just so happened to be breaking up.

The concert was great, very fitting of a final fairwell. Great crowd, great performance, definitely could have been the best show I've ever been to. On the same note, June (a band I interviewed a while back as up-and-coming) opened for them, along with The Junior Varsity and Here's me Smiling. It was a great show.

I just wanted to say "Thanks" to Hey Mercedes for putting out a few great albums. Hopefully we'll see some more from their future endevours.

Keep up the good work guys.

what was the reason for the break up?

unsaid. Just time to move on and form new groups I guess.
Hey Mercedes stemmed from the breakup of a band called Braid (3 of the guys in Hey Mercedes were in Braid). The guys love music, so I don't see them stopping now =P

Hopefully they'll be another great band coming (Braid was awesome as well)
