Dear PRR peeps,
**BREAKING NEWS** For all of us PRR has been a labour of love for many years, but our individual changing circumstances necessitate its time to finish. It’s been a long & winding journey & we want to say a huge thanks to you all for the support you’ve given.
We’re so sorry that due to extenuating circumstances we are unable to perform at Moonloop Festival, Ukraine & the two Holland shows 11th &12th November.
However we have 6 final UK shows booked to enable us to say a fond farewell to you all:

Extended apologies to our fans on the continent, but the reason for solely UK shows is due to fixed time constraints.

Looking forward to seeing you in November.

This is not good news, although to be fair, I didn't care about the direction they went into after the first album. Good band nonetheless.

And to think I saw them play in NYC for, literally, 7 people in the audience....

And to think I saw them play in NYC for, literally, 7 people in the audience....

Saw this thread and immediately thought of that show. Truly a unique experience.

While I wasn't a huge fan of the last two albums, The Dark Third remains one of my favorite albums of all time. I haven't stopped listening to it since the day I first bought it.

 

[Pellaz]

Now the world is down one band that's done stuff based on the His Dark Materials books (song "Intention Craft")....which might bring that number of bands to zero.

 

[TheLongshot]

Royally bummed. I really regret not being able to go to their NEARFest appearance.

Unlike others, I liked all of their albums and was glad they didn't decide to repeate "The Dark Third"

 

[Soundscape]

I'm with ya The Longshot. I'd rather them do something different, than try to use the same ideas album after album. And I found they did that for the most part, unfortunately, I don't think the majority of their fans really cared for their follow up records as much for that reason.

 

[Kimavir]

Nimos and Tambos is anemically short, but still manages to be one of my favorite songs ever. It just busts out and shoves a smile on your face. I'm beyond sad I'll never see em live.

 

[Dipstick]

They never really repeated the quality of The Dark Third. They've just released a vinyl version of that album too, and will will be playing the whole album at their final shows in November.
