6&3/4

I'm not gonna say a word about THE big announcement made last night. Altough, in my world, THE big announcement might be the following...

Ipso Facto are going to break up. This really makes me sad. I loved them, they played great music and I would've loved to see them live.

They were an all-female 60s inspired goth group based in London associated with The Horrors and new London scene.

The only good part is that all three members will keep making music. Bassist Samantha Valentine is a new member of R O M A N C E (finger-licking band, dare I say), lead Rosalie Cunningham will start a proggresive-rock influenced band called Ketu and drummer Victoria Smith will be in a band called Blue on Blue. So, I guess I'll keep my eyes peeled and hope these bands will last longer than Ipso Facto.

Also, former keyboardist Cherish Kaya worked with Faris Badwan under the name Lumina and the result was a haunting cover of Back Lips' 'I'll Be With You'.
