Local indie-pop band, Argo, call it quits.
Submitted by imaginary char on June 1, 2007.
Local band Argo announced today they are breaking up to pursue other endeavors.
Earlier this morning, bass player Jon Wooster stated,
“We've had a great time with Argo but feel that it is the right time to hang up our collective spacesuits. The support from this community has been wonderful and we are honored to be a part of it for the last 4 years. We all have other ideas that we want to pursue, the post rock project "the Apes", solo endeavors, and a new striped down project that is going to start in the fall but won't be performing until next year. A very special thank you to everyone who came to see us play, bought a record, or requested us on the radio, it has been a lot of fun.”
Their last scheduled show is Sunday at the Georgetown music festival but plans are being made to throw an official going away party.

Aww, thanks too bad. TIG has been fondly following Argo just about since the site started back in 2002! Rick, you can read more about 'em on their band page, here:

It's the end of an era, but they had a good run of it. We'll miss you, fellas!

What in the hell is going on with Seattle bands that I love and June? The Divorce and Pretty Girls Make Graves are already playing their final shows this month. Now Argo? Seriously, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!?!
