Bodyjar

Bodyjar will play their last shows next month before they split for good.

The Melbourne outfit announced earlier this week they are calling it a day after more than a decade together.

Commenting on the band’s decision to disband, Bodyjar front man Cam Baines said the band wanted to go out on their own terms.

“It’s been amazing. We’ve done so much stuff as a band … way more than we ever thought we would,” Baines said.

“As far as we’re concerned the last studio album Bodyjar made, our self-titled album, was the best of our career. It might not have sold the most copies, but it was brutally honest and it covered a lot of territory, musically and emotionally.

“It just feels like a good time to put a full-stop on it all. We wanna go out on our own terms. What better way to finish up than with a national tour where we crank out some old tunes one last time and say thanks to all the folks who have supported us over the years.”

Bodyjar are Cam Baines, Grant Relf, Tom Read and Shane Wakker.

The band will play a national farewell tour this October. See below for tour details.
