Baumer Calls It Quits

Be sure to share your favorite Baumer stories on the wall here.

Via their Myspace

Friends,

You’ve probably noticed the past few months have been tough for us with
cancelled tours and other things completely out of our control. Its been hard,
but it has given us time to reevaluate where we are and what the future of
Baumer looks like. One thing we never wanted to do with this band was to beat a
dead horse. We always said that if it was time to move on we would. Its really
painful, but we’ve come to the conclusion that its time for Baumer to come
to an end. We are extremely sad, but we know its the right thing for us.

We don’t even know where to begin to show you guys how grateful we are for
your support. You are the reason we got here and what kept us going for the
past 4 years. We’ve come up with a couple things that will hopefully
communicate how much we appreciate you guys. We’ve been in the studio
finishing up the two songs we had left. We also have a friend that is working
on a few remixes of some old favorites. So what does this mean for you? On
November 25th Eyeball will be releasing “Baumer the Complete Recordings” on
I-Tunes. This will a complete collection of all the music
we’ve ever worked on including, but not limited to, “Were It Not For
You” “Come On, Feel It” plus all the b-sides, demos and remixes
we can find. Its our way of saying “Baumer loves You”.

Our final show will be November 7th at Headliners. The first 100 people in the
door will get a free copy of the 2 brand new songs and the remixes. We will
also be having a crazy sale on all of our merch. We look forward to seeing you
all there and saying goodbye.

Again, please keep supporting independent music. Actually BUY records and
merch. Pay to go out to shows. Again BUY PURCHASE & PAY FOR MUSIC….this
is the only way bands can keep making music. So find a band you love and
support them totally because they need you just as much as you need them.

We love you all and are grateful for each one of you…
All Our Love,
Baumer

When Baumer came onto the SC music scene they really took it by storm which was an almost impossible thing to keep going. I don’t hesitate to say that early on they caught every break and they took advantage of it, but in the last couple of months the breaks just weren’t going their way. It really breaks my heart that they are breaking up. They are four great guys that really love their fans and the music they made and will make in the future.

More to come when I have time to reflect a little bit more! For now enjoy the videos!
