Chicago indie rockers Chin Up Chin Up are calling it quits. On May 15, the band will play their last show at local club the Empty Bottle. On the Chin Up Chin Up MySpace page, frontman Jeremy Bolen had this to say:
“I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we really had intentions to keep making music together for an infinite amount of time, but just as this band began in a natural way it is naturally coming to an end. Thank you to the hundreds of people who have helped us along the way, we have been truly lucky, and as cliché as it may sound, we could not have done any of this without you.”
But, uh, chin up, because Bolen has a new band called Vacations. Former Chin Up Chin Up members Greg Sharp and Bobby Burg are both on board as well. Vacations will release their first album, I Was Bikini / But Ran Afraid on April 7 via Record Label/Flameshovel. Here’s the cover and tracklist:
01 I Was Bikini
02 New Friends

04 Ewoks in Domes
05 Punk Bass
06 Weekend
07 Solar Tongue
08 Sea Scenes for Sale
