^ Very cool! It was an awesome show. Probably my favorite concert I've ever been to. The energy was so intense!

The recording of the final gig was posted on YouTube. You can watch it in HD and in 3D if you want.

This depresses me so much, but I'm glad I got to see them before they broke up.

Another great band that has run its course toward its natura lend - SSGM will live forever in the collective conscience of contemproary rock.

I've still never quite gotten into SGM for some reason, but I've always wanted to see them live, given their reputation and the indisputable quality of their compositional skill and musicianship. I guess that's another one to cross off the "maybe one day" list...

I have no idea what they mean by that. Perhaps they're referring to side projects?


Or perhaps it means we'll see a new permutation of the group. SGM arose from the ashes of Idiot Flesh, so perhaps this points the way towards some further evolution. Either way, this isn't a declaration of retirement on behalf of the band members. I'm sure we'll see plenty of activity from them all in one way or another for good while yet!

This is the worst news I've heard in years. Four of the best five concerts I've ever seen have been by them. I really hope they keep making music in some form.

But is a shock and a shame indeed. I'll definitely buy the new cd when available.

This is sad,  but at least we have one last album to look forward to. This reminds me, it has been far too long since I actually listened to these guys

I just assumed it was them being incredibly strange like usual.
