July 15, 20196 yr Author Conversation video releasing tomorrow! Fantastic headline set from them at TRNSMT on Saturday, available on the iPlayer.
July 16, 20196 yr Author And here it is! 4lScbCIgLxw Wonder if this is the end of the album cycle now? They'll still be touring and doing festivals for the next year - but I'd like to see Encore or Sidetrack as the next single if there is one.
July 16, 20196 yr Author There definitely wasn't a Nintendo video there, we saw nothing :D Ssshhhhhh :lol:
August 31, 20204 yr Author Headlining Reading & Leeds 2021! That's massive for them, and Van was on Radio 1 and confirmed there will be new music before that performance :D
August 23, 20213 yr Author The Sun are reporting that Catfish and the Bottlemen have split up... but they're supposed to be headlining Reading & Leeds this weekend? (and they confirmed new music would be soon not too long ago). Very strange! Hopefully the rumours aren't true, I'd be very disappointed if so :( I'll suppose we'll find out this weekend.
August 23, 20213 yr Supposedly going to be still doing any planned gigs and announce the split at them. Hoping it’s not true though but usually these rumours do have some truth to them.
August 23, 20213 yr Author It just seems strange as the reason being that they haven't cracked America? I believe Arctic Monkeys are the only British indie rock band of the last 20+ years who have, so it just seems very strange. Especially as now they're playing the biggest festival slots of their career over here!
August 23, 20213 yr I imagine there’s probably been a fall out and instead of saying that they are using the fact they haven’t cracked America as an excuse. I could be wrong though but if it was an amicable split then I would of thought they would have done one last album.
August 23, 20213 yr Author If they'd fallen out though, I would have expected them to cancel their upcoming shows. I suppose we'll find out on Friday though!
August 23, 20213 yr Author It would explain the complete radio silence online in almost a year though It was the same in the years after 'The Ride' though tbf, they've never been much of a band for social media.
August 27, 20213 yr Author Their headline set will be streamed at 20:35 on the iPlayer tonight! I'm very intrigued as to what will happen, as they surely can't just ignore it.
August 29, 20213 yr Author Well nothing was announced at the set... they literally didn't say a word between the songs! They had an absolutely enormous crowd though, so that was good to see.
October 11, 20213 yr Author Drummer Bob Hall has announced that he's left the band on Instagram, and that the rest of the band are set to continue (they just announced a show supporting Stereophonics at Cardiff Stadium) - so god knows why they didn't say anything at their gigs this summer! View this post on Instagram A belated message... Thank you to everyone who came out to Reading, Leeds, Swansea and Warrington. With some of the biggest shows I’ve been a part of, it felt a fitting way to mark the end of an era for myself... Those shows were my finale with Catfish and the Bottlemen and I will be moving on to the next chapter of my adventures. It’s been over a 10 year journey and I am so appreciative of how lucky I was to experience it all. Endless thanks to everyone who’s followed the band and kept returning to the live shows - it was because of all of you that gave me the opportunity to see the world through playing music. Good luck to the band, who I’m sure will only keep playing to more of you. Onwards! Rob
February 15, 20223 yr Author Guitarist Bondy was on Instagram live this morning complaining about Catfish, saying that he wasn’t allowed to release the music he wanted to, and he’s “trying to make music fun again” for him with his new stuff. Guess they definitely are done then! Unless Van wants to keep the name I suppose.
June 6, 20223 yr Author Johnny Bond has finally addressed what happened with the group. He left in March 2021 and only returned for their summer shows as a session musician, he has no idea what’s going on with the band now. They just cancelled their support shows for Stereophonics at Cardiff Stadium. View this post on Instagram What a mess.
