We remember back in the day when we started this site and all the kids loved Voxtrot. And rightfully so - they produced stellar indie pop with a disgruntled edge of wit that was all the rage back then, and their shows were packed and enthusiastic with bopping kids. But those kids have grown up, and alas, perhaps so does Voxtrot. They have of course been lying low for quite some time, with members moving on or sporting other projects here and there (Hey, what’s up with Sparrow House, Jared Van Fleet!?). But recently frontman Ramesh Srivastava decided to just go ahead and make the band’s demise official. Fair enough, that will happen. Though we only got one album and some awesome EPs and singles from Voxtrot, as Ramesh notes: “Part of doing something with love is being able to say “goodbye” at the right time.” You can read his full goodbye note on their site. Voxtrot will be doing one final run of shows, however, starting this weekend in Chicago. They’re doing 8 shows in all (including a two night stand at the Bowery in New York, who apparently still love their pop jangle!), and will be saying goodbye to Austin at Emo’s on Thursday June 3. We guess that “The Start of Something” always has to have its ending as well. Bye bye boys, and good luck.
