The Go! Team confirm split at the Hot Press Chatroom

Front woman Ninja says their Rolling Blackouts album will be their last.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 05 Sep 2011

There was sad news for fans of Brighton dance-pop outfit The Go! Team yesterday, when production whiz Ian Parton and front woman Ninja (pictured) confirmed that the band will not be making another album together.

Fielding a question from the audience, Ninja told a packed Hot Press Chatroom that band members have decided to focus on other projects and that the Electric Picnic show would be their final Irish performance.

The band then proceeded to blow the roof off the Electric Arena with a phenomenal hour-long set. We'll miss their energetic live shows, but team Hot Press can't wait to see what Parton, Ninja and Co. do next!

You'll be able to watch the full interview on hotpress.com in the coming days.

Maybe I've become too familiar with what they’re trying to achieve – but right now there’s nothing here to make me instantly love this record.

Given that the Thunder, Lightning, Strike album was essentially the sound of one man in his bedroom, ‘Grip Like A Vice’ is the first time that the full Go! Team experience has made it into the studio. As such, it doesn’t disappoint. Everything we’ve come to expect from their live show is present and correct, all tied up in a record that is uplifting, full of righteous positivity and guaranteed to get the party started wherever they land this summer. Here’s hoping that the album will display a bit more progression but for the moment, the Go! Team are back and that’s all that matters.

The Go! Team re-release their fantastic Thunder Lightning Strike, the pot-boiler album of the year, later this month. Worth it for the impudent harmonica alone, it is as good as you’ve been told, so make like the Nice treaty and give in to it, because you know they’re just going to keep putting it out there it ‘til we do.

We should have been warned. For a while now the whispers have been that, no matter how good The Go! Team were on record (ie. bloody fantastic) it wasn't a patch on the live experience. All well and good but, believe me, nothing could have prepared us to become part of a mass of waving arms, grinning inanely and chanting Go! Team as if our lives depended on it. It was that kind of night.
