Cardiff, Wales funk/punk act Adequate Seven have decided to call it a day. In a recent email the band made the following statement:

After nearly six years, and over 500 gigs, we've come to the decision that it's the right time to call it a day. There are various reasons, too complicated to go into here. It seems self indulgent to make a big deal out of it, not least because we've seen the demise of so many great bands that we've been really close to, but don't mind telling you that we're all really gutted. We're fortunate to be able to say that we haven't fallen out, or experienced 'musical differences'. I'm sure most of us will continue making music in one form or another…

The band released their latest full length Here on Earth via Household Name Records.

After nearly six years, and over 500 gigs, we’ve come to the decision that it’s the right time to call it a day. There are various reasons, too complicated to go into here. It seems self indulgent to make a big deal out of it, not least because we’ve seen the demise of so many great bands that we’ve been really close to, but don't mind telling you that we’re all really gutted. We’re fortunate to be able to say that we haven’t fallen out, or experienced ‘musical differences’. I’m sure most of us will continue making music in one form or another.

We’re going to be doing a last tour, and also a big final show in Cardiff towards the end of the year. The dates will be up on myspace and the website very soon. We’re going to release a final single and DVD as they’re already in the pipeline. We’ll keep you all updated with news about the single and DVD when it’s all sorted.

We’d all like to sincerely thank everyone for all the love and support we’ve been shown over the years. We’ve had some amazing and unforgettable times, largely thanks to the people we’ve met along the way. "
