Coalesce Goes on Hiatus

by | Jun 18, 2010

Coalesce will be going on hiatus. Bassist Nathan Ellis comments:

“It’s been a fun couple of years.  We’ve had excellent tours with bands we love (Converge, Harvey Milk, Torche, Kylesa, Atlas Moth, Gaza, Touche Amore, Black Breath), been to Europe, East Coast, West Coast, released a new record and a follow up ep, played some great Festivals and had the opportunity to see some old friends, and meet a ton of new people. This is a good time for a break. Sean just bought a new house, Junior is starting his new business, Jes is putting the finishing touches on his PhD, and I’m going to sit on my couch and watch Shaun of the Dead. Thanks for your continued support.  Even if Jes put his thumb in your eye, I spit on you, sean puked RIGHT in front of you and Junior gave you a sweaty hug.”
