Woke up w/a slight headache from the Lucero/DBT show last night to read that I Can Lick Any Son of a Bitch in the house broke up. I did a feature on them a few weeks ago….hope I did not jinx them…
Here’s the official announcement from the band:
Hey everyone. Well, it’s time for the news that we hoped we would
never have to deliver. After 5 plus years of touring, recording, and
throwing our middle fingers at the powers that be, I Can Lick Any
Sonofabitch In The House is no more. Mike D has decided to focus on
his family and his solo work, and we of course won’t continue without
our brother. We can’t thank all of you who have supported us enough;
for taking care of us on the road, letting us sleep on your floors
and eat your food, sharing the stage with us, or just being the loyal
fans that you have been. It is our great hope that we were able to
bring to you even a fraction of the love and happiness that you
brought to our lives.
We will all move on to other things, and we hope that you will a part
of that as well. In addition to Mike’s solo career, Jon and Flap will
continue with The Runaway Boys, and Dave with Spigot and all his
other projects. Jon will also continue to record, so if your band is
interested in recording please contact Jon through our Myspace page.
Our website will stay up indefinitely, and we will continue to sell
our records. We have some unreleased material that may still see the
light of day, so keep an eye out for that on iTunes or through In
Music We Trust.
We have a great van for sale, a 15 passenger 1997 Dodge Ram, great
condition, converted with a storage area and a bed, so it’s of course
fantastic for a touring band. Please contact us through our Myspace
page for more information.
This Saturday, November 25th, some of us will be gathering at the
Laurelthirst at 9PM to hoist a few in salute to Sonofabitch, and we
would love it if any of you would join us to celebrate. We had a
great run, and we are sending it out with a bang.
You can stay in touch with Mike D and his solo career through his
Myspace page.
Now comes the most important part. In the years we have been
together, we have crossed paths with many fantastic bands, many of
which you can find on our links page. But we would like to take this
opportunity to mention four in particular. They are the very best
that this country has to offer, and if you are a fan of ours, we hope
you will fill the void we are leaving behind with these four
incredible bands. They are Two Cow Garage, Red Cloud West, Drag The
River, and Portland’s own Hillstomp. They are the greatest of bands
and the best of friends. We will love you guys always.
With Love and Thanks,
Mole, Jon, Dave, and Flap
Take care guys…
