Superchick Officially Retires

From the band's Facebook page:
Superchick is closing a chapter. The people you've seen on stage are taking a curtain bow. It's time to go exploring again. Everyone has new stories to write: Tricia has another solo record coming out, Dave is touring with Audio Adrenaline, Melissa started Rosebuds East, Matt is busy being a realtor/songwriter/daddy daycare and I've got plenty of projects to finish up, including a ThumpMonks record years in the making.
There are 5 brand new Superchick songs we will release into the wild soon. When he first started chemo, our drummer Chase called me to say, "Don't finish the record without me; I'm coming back in the fall." We managed to get a couple studio sessions with him and some of Chase's rhythmic creativity lives on in these songs. They are the last words in a sentence that was brought to a full stop by Chase's passing. These new songs are dedicated to his fighting optimism. They are some of the best we've done and I hope they honor his memory.
