Billboard is reporting that during a New York City concert last night, Guided By Voices frontman Robert Pollard announced that by the end of 2004, the band will be no more. The band will end "in a blaze of fire," said Pollard, with their last show being New Years Eve 2004 in New York City. Guided By Voices currently only has three Midwestern shows on their slate.
