Break-ups: Q and Not U (1998-2005)

A number of you wrote in with the news that Dischord act Q and Not U have disbanded. The band posted a statement on their website today:

After seven years, hundreds of shows, thousands of miles, 46 states, four continents, three albums, only one flat-tire and countless nicknames for Shawn Brackbill, Q and Not U is disbanding.

With all of your support, we feel that we've reached all of our shared goals as Q and Not U and we're ready to move on to other projects in life. We all hope to play music together again someday, but we feel that it's a beautiful and natural time to bring this band to a close.

The band had released three full lengths on Dischord, the first No Kill No Beep Beep in 2000, followed by Different Damage two years later and most recently last year's Power.

They still have a handful of shows scheduled. Among them are festival performances in the summer and two hometown farewell shows in September. You can click Read More for those.
