HIATUS NO MORE.

noreply@blogger.com (a&s) — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:05:00 +0000

So after about two months of a "hiatus" and some sort of "soul-searching," we decided that us not doing Arms and Sleepers at least in some form and capacity is silly and unviable. There were some real reasons as to why we decided to go on a hiatus, but after six years of hard work, wonderful fans and many great moments, it doesn't feel right to just disappear. Granted, it probably took an extreme decision such as calling it quits in order for us to come to this realization, but here we are now. We will still probably not have any new music for quite some time, though we do have some other plans for the next year. Thanks for bearing with us through all kinds of ups and downs---we appreciate your continued support and look forward to keeping this thing going. Hooray!

GONE FISHING IN AN EMPTY SEA...

noreply@blogger.com (a&s) — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:29:00 +0000

Dear friends,

We are sad to announce that due to several personal circumstances beyond our control, we have cancelled all upcoming tour dates in Eastern Europe. As we have never cancelled a tour in our 6-year existence as a band, this is a new experience for us—and not one we ever wish to repeat. We apologize to all the people that were planning on coming and had purchased tickets. We were truly excited for this tour, and believe us that it was not an easy decision to make. We also apologize to all the promoters that worked hard to make this tour happen. We wish things were different, but sometimes wishes are not reality.

Unfortunately, we are not sure when/if we will be able to make up these dates. This is because the other piece of news is that Arms and Sleepers will be going on an indefinite hiatus. While we (Max and Mirza) remain close friends and will continue making music together, we are not likely to play any shows for quite some time, or to put out releases. It is time for us to turn focus to other personal and professional aspirations, and perhaps even get back to making music only for ourselves, as we used to do in the past.

We don't want to go into a long and emotional speech here, plus we'll be posting a few more things in the coming months anyway. Very simply, we want to thank everyone that has supported us in any capacity over the years. We've made a lot of wonderful friends and unforgettable memories through music, and have been extremely lucky to be able to travel the world. This to us is priceless, and we thank all of you that were a part of that experience. We are sure that we'll see some of you again, and we are sure that you'll hear more music from us at some point. Right now, we just don't know when that will be, and we are guessing it won't be for a while.

Much love,

Max & Mirza
