Havalina is Dead!

Having just found that one of my All-Time favorite bands, Havalina, has, in fact, disbanded, I am lost; I am aloof; I am lonely; I am left wanting more. Matt Wignall, frontman and founder, relates that they were on the brink of releasing their next album "Pacific" (which I have been waiting for over a year) and Orlando Greenhill called a band meeting giving no reason, and as Matt suspected he was leaving the band for undisclosed reasons.

Granted I have been listening to them since I was in high school and have many memories of seeing them live and talking to Matt at their merch table; but he does not leave us to weep and gnash our teeth. On the band's website he leaves us with happy memories and a 26 song retrospective aptly titled "We Remember Anarchy, 1993-2005" free for download. Also he has gone on to form a new band with the remaining two members of Havalina, Erik Nieto and David Maust, named Matt Death and the New Intellectuals. They have already written songs and hope to carry on the torch of great indie music.

God Bless Them. See the whole truth at www.havalinaland.com
