They were leading easily in being the most memorable of dreampop/noise chip bands. I think they were guys that loved the community and got full schedules and busy very fast. I will treasure my vinyl copy of In Her Gentle Jaws.

Side note: they used to do some 100% chip cover songs on YouTube that made me like cover songs. I miss them for that just as much.

god i want that vinyl and i dont even own a record player.

just from talking to kurt at the show they played in detroit last spring, it definitely sounds like neither him nor chirstoph were expecting the pains to take off so quickly.

as disappointed as i am that they are no longer a band, i can understand why when something you saw as a sort of "side project" in the beginning, gains more noteriety, it might have to come to the point of choosing what you want to bring your best efforts too, and letting one fall by the wayside, so to speak.

i would like to see an "official" last show/farewell happen, because they absolutely deserve it.

To be fair, they where always very receptive when i asked them to play a pw, but they had very busy schedules in the past few years. When he was coming up, they were very chip receptive!

Word, I figured as much. I suppose it was more along the lines of the feelings you have towards the doctor when he cuts off your morphine.

Edit: Everyone posting in this thread should check out his other band, Pains of Being Pure At Heart, if for some reason they haven't already: http://www.myspace.com/thepainsofbeingpureatheart

Word and supplying us with The Pains of Being Pure At Heart in this thread is like transitioning to methadone.

they played the first "pulsewave" i ever went to.. before i think they started calling it pulsewave. i think it was them, aonami, bit shifter and nullsleep. sick show was sick.

now THAT'S a show.

Would've loved to see them on a big chip-shoegaze bill w/ Noisewaves & Failotron.

theyre on the frontpage

Lets give some truly amazing musicians/guys and pioneers in the chiptune scene a good sendoff by listening to their final performance
