The Minders = Alive

A few months ago I mentioned a notice which had appeared on the Minders‘ MySpace page which strongly implied that the band was no more. I lamented the Minders‘ passing, as did a number of others. Now comes this post from Robert Schneider on the Minders forum, which, while not coming from Martyn Leaper himself, is pretty convincing evidence that in fact the band is not dead at all. In Robert’s words:
hi guys– i spoke to martyn recently, and he said it is absolutely NOT the case, that the minders have broken up– but he confirmed that rebecca did leave the band, events surrounding which were responsible for the post quoted above, saying they broke up (martyn did not approve that post, however).
martyn (who started the minders with me, as a recording project for the two of us for the first Minders single on Elephant 6 Records, but quickly fleshed it out into a live band with rebecca cole, jeff almond, and mark wilhite, by the time their second single came out) said he still plans on recording and performing songs under the name The Minders.
also, he is playing with a new band– however i will leave it up to martyn to confirm or deny the above speculations about matt (who also rocks).
hope this is useful information,
robert schneider
In a word: yay.
