"One of the best ska bands has decided to follow the rest of the ska bands into that big skank pit in the sky. "According to Rich, the Hippos have broken up in October, and will be releasing a 3rd album on a small label. Rich is now playing with the RX Bandits, and doesn't speak with the other Hippos anymore" (punkmusic.com)."
This was actually submitted yesterday by someone else, but I accidentally deleted it. My apologies. And I definitely think it's time to get a "band breaks up" news logo…
