Gorky’s split after 15 years together

Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci have split up after 15 years together.

 

The Welsh band – long-standing and critically acclaimed cult favourites – made the decision following recent solo releases from singer Euros Childs and guitarist Richard James.

 

“Gorky's Zygotic Mynci have decided to call it a day and split up," said a statement on their website. "Richard, Megan (Childs), Euros and Pete (Richardson) would like to thank everyone who came to the gigs and bought the records over the years.â€

 

BBC Radio One's Huw Stephens paid tribute to the band's achievements and said the split was “amicableâ€.

 

“They were always criminally-ignored by the music industry," he commented. "They are an amazing band. In my opinion they are one of the best bands Britain has ever produced.

 

“It is a shame but their back catalogue is massive – an incredibly diverse and eclectic collection.â€

 

Any thoughts?

I like to think of it as a psychotic monkey.

 

Yeah, I saw this. To be honest, I thought they split years ago!

 

They haven't done anything great since 97's Diamond Dew really...but EVERYTHING before that was absolute gold.
