Harvey Danger calling it quits

The Seattle band that rose to fame with the song "Flagpole Sitta" is breaking up. Three Imaginary Girls blog has the scoop today. Members of Harvey Danger, who have been together for 15 years, posted a statement on their Web site, saying the decision is mutual and utterly amicable. They write: "Everyone is very proud of the work we've done together, but we've also come to feel that our collaboration has--in a very positive way--run its course. We're all eager to try our hands at other projects, musical and otherwise. Chances are we'll all work together in one form or another; if we've learned anything, it's that you never know what will happen. Of course, putting an end to something we've been working on since our early 20s can't help being accompanied by a soupcon of melancholy. Nonetheless, as the Chambers Brothers remind us, time has come today. Rock bands have life spans, and Harvey Danger's has been longer, and more eventful, than even we would have predicted."
