Rushmore Records pop-punk band
Day At The Fair have announced they have broken up. The New Jersey band, fronted by Lanemeyer's Chris Barker, suffered a number of lineup changes in their six-year existence; their most recent album was 2005's
The Rocking Chair Years. Barker posted the following message regarding the band's demise:
"Ya know that dog you have that just lies around all day? The kind of dog thats been on its last leg for sometime. No one bothers petting it, playing with it, throwing it a friggin bone every now and again. It's just not that much fun to have around anymore. Eventually, after paying all its bills and going broke in the process, you are left with two options. Do I: A) Keep it alive, see what happens or B) Take the thing out back and shoot it???
We chose option B
Thanks for the memories everyone, We're Movin On
Love, CHRIS (and Rob, Steve, Todd, Kevin, Monkey, Sean, Frank, Mike, Justin, and Kelly)"
