One of this city’s most energetic and entertaining rock bands has given its two-week notice. Speaking from their home in Myspaceland, the gritty dance-punks in the Cops intimated: “After 4 1/2 years, 2 records, an EP, several tours and over 230 shows played, we’re taking a break for an undetermined amount of time. It’s bittersweet, but the time has come. 4 1/2 years of touring have been financially and personally taxing and some of the band members want to focus on other things in life.”

 

Fans of the band—who I always thought resembled a black leather wearin’, back alley lurkin’, dirty American version of Franz Ferdinand—will undoubtedly be disappointed by this announcement, so be sure to hit up this great lineup of local rockers, just in case the indefinite hiatus turns into a definite one. Cancer Rising, Kinski, the Whoremoans, the Fall of Troy, and Spiral Stairs are all solid bands, and what better venue than the Sunset?
