Just like the spirit of Mr. Rogers will never die, neither will My Revenge. But sometimes the tide changes and you gotta put your surfboard away for a little while and go explore something else, which means that it's time for My Revenge to ride one more wave for one last show and release one final record. Hopefully our spirit of magnificent dysfunctionalism, ridiculous nonsense, and bufoonery will everlastingly glow bright like the Uni-Brow from the Swedish Chef on the Muppet Show.
...At this point in time, members of My Revenge are no longer in a position to continue doing this band. Having become older, we learned how to tune the instruments, and that's utterly not acceptable for this band. Mike Halvorsen has 7 children. (All with red Opie hair); Ryan and Phil recently got a Civil Union and are touring with the first ever Kiss/Misfits tribute band "Walk Among Kiss;" Heaven's Bakery is starring in his own movie: "Coming To A Buffet Near You;" and I, Spencer am the skateboarder version of Dwight from "The Office.
Vermont-based hardcore skate punk act My Revenge will play their final show on July 19th. The gig will double as the record release party for their final Thorp released LP Strength Through Nonviolence. The show will take place on July 19th at the Bristol Hub Skatepark in Bristol, Vermont with guests Black SS, Unrestrained, ANS, and Fight Back. The band commented on their coming finale:

But really, at least they are being funny about it. Nothing is worse than over-dramatic break-ups.

this band fucking ruled. so sad that they're breaking up and i never got to see them. i heard they were quite the intense live band, and that's believable since their albums just sound like raw ass live recordings with absolutely no overdubs. 1+ Reply

Various things taken from the about me section on their MySpace: "...My Revenge stands for Skateboarding, building our own ramps and then taking them on the road, barbecuing on tour, playing only all-ages shows with no barriers, being proud of how not tough we are, speaking in between songs about what they are about, dogpiles, emptying 70 pounds of feathers and garbage on the stage, working together instead of being competitive, breaking all of our equipment and subsequently not having any functional equipment ever, being chased by the Japanese police, moshing down the countertop at Waffle House, chewing up and spitting out nasty old food on each other, not being pre-planned or contrived, finding swimming holes on tour, dry humping nuns, converting rollerbladers into skateboarders, touring as much as possible, and a never ending battle over whether Metallica are better than Black Sabbath."
