DD/MM/YYYY Break Up After Nearly a Decade, Reform as Absolutely Free

DD/MM/YYYYWe Are Busy Bodies

DD/MM/YYYY fans may be left scratching their heads with the news that their beloved band (also known as Day, Month, Year) have called it a day. Though the Toronto outfit are currently in the middle of a tour with a high-profile date booked at New Jersey's ATP fest, according to Exclaim, after nearly a decade they're ready to move on. But, thankfully, four of the five members are moving on together, reforming as Absolutely Free.

"On behalf of the members of DD/MM/YYYY, we would truly like to thank all of the people who have helped us in any and all capacities," the group -- who've released a slew of records since 2003, their latest album being 2009's 'Black Square' -- said in a statement.

"The labels who have released our records, the agents who have booked us, all of the bands who have taken us on tour, publicists, people who have seen us live, written about us or shared word of our band, friends, new and old who have put us up, fed us and taken care of us. We look forward to seeing you all again as performers, friends and peers."

Though their farewell address makes little mention of the new project, word has it that Absolutely Free are already writing and recording material and will make their debut Nov. 17 at the M for Montreal festival.
