I have this face like I can handle it all but what you dint know is inside I’m breaking I can’t do it all on my own, but I have to be the one they all count on to keep it together

- Harry Burns: You realize of course that we could never be friends.
- Sally Albright: Why not?
- Harry Burns: What I'm saying is--and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form--is that men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.
- Sally Albright: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
- Harry Burns: No you don't.
- Sally Albright: Yes I do.
- Harry Burns: No you don't.
- Sally Albright: Yes I do.
- Harry Burns: You only think you do.
- Sally Albright: You say I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
- Harry Burns: No, what I'm saying is they all WANT to have sex with you.
- Sally Albright: They do not.
- Harry Burns: Do too.
- Sally Albright: They do not.
- Harry Burns: Do too.
- Sally Albright: How do you know?
- Harry Burns: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
- Sally Albright: So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
- Harry Burns: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.
- Sally Albright: What if THEY don't want to have sex with YOU?
- Harry Burns: Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
what bands are calling it quits??? If you say Don't Call It A Comeback,,, I'm seriously going to cry!
No not DCIAC! lol They will be around for awhile I am sure. These are bigger bands Thursday and Thrice.
Two of my favorite bands call it quits in two days…IDK what to say
This literally brought tears to my eyes I <3 you Thursday
“look thrice, Imma Let you finish, but…”
Yup. Yesterday thrice, today Thursday. Crazy coincidence for two bands that have led such parallel and intersecting lives. We would’ve spaced our announcement out and given the dust a chance to settle but we are about to play a bunch of shows and we didn’t want anyone to miss the chance to see us one more time, so here it goes…
If you’re reading this long version of our statement, you’ve probably had some interaction with Thursday. We’ve been a band for thirteen years. We’ve played an uncountable number of shows, ranging from living rooms to stadiums. We’ve talked to every Zine, blog, Daily, Weekly, Monthly periodical… We’ve talked to every College, Commercial and Public Radio Station and sometimes we just hung out on the street talking to strangers. Maybe we met you. Maybe we worked together somewhere. Maybe you saw us or heard us with friends. Whatever the case may be, we owe you thanks. You’ve allowed us to be a band for thirteen years, to travel the world, to make records, to meet all of the people we’ve grown to love. And to open for our idols, work with our heroes, employ our friends (the best crew around) and see our dreams made real.
This year, Thursday has had so much to celebrate: our new record, No Devolución, came out ten years, to the week, after the record that was to become our touchstone: Full Collapse. To have one record still being celebrated a decade after it’s release and another to be met with such critical acclaim was really more than we ever could’ve imagined. We just wanted to play basement shows in New Brunswick. It’s funny… That sounds like a well-worn line now but it’s absolutely the truth.
Well, if you’ve been touched by our music or our dedication or our embarrassingly out-of-fashion sincerity, then this is for you, friend: thank you for letting us make No Devolución. We hope you’ve heard it. We say “beg, borrow or steal… music is an idea… ideas are free” but we encourage you to support our fantastically sweet and hardworking label, Epitaph, by buying it if you can afford to.
Despite the fantastic year that the band has enjoyed, creatively, things haven’t been as easy for us on a personal level. Without diving into detail, it’s fair to say that this year has been an endless series of personal difficulties. We haven’t had any falling out and are all still close. I’m sure that we will continue to create, in some capacity, together. We’ve talked about turning Thursday into something else: a non-profit, a band that only records sporadically, a collection of other projects… Underneath it all, the personal circumstances involved make it impossible to continue Thursday in the spirit that has made it special. So, we stop. For now, at least.
We hope to see many of you at these last shows. They’ll be a lot of fun. We promise.
Lots of love,
Geoff & Tom & Tucker & Steve & Andrew & Tim & Lukas
