These Arms Are Snakes broke up

These Arms Are Snakes at Shea stadium (more by Chloe Rice)
These Arms Are Snakes

It's with a heavy heart we tell you that These Arms Are Snakes is no more. It's been a great run and we'd like to send out a very hearty "Thank You" to everyone that we've worked with or anyone that we've toured with; anyone that lent us a floor, towed our van and/or trailer, lent a van, given us a listen, downloaded our records prior to their coming out, bought our shit, or asked us where our band name came from; everyone who cooked us food, made habanero-infused tequila, had a safety meeting with us, let Steve gyrate all over you, had to live with any of us, made us pay shitloads of money to get off your punk label, got us into LOST, found Steve drunkenly wandering the streets of Tokyo alone, played Madlibs in the van (plural nouns), lost money promoting one of our shows, took Chris to the hospital, put up with our drunken sorry asses, got into a fight with us, etc. etc.

This band could not have been possible without all of you. We sincerely thank you.

Much love,

TAAS 2002 - 2009

These Arms Are Snakes' final shows in NYC were 9/25 at Shea Stadium and 9/27 at Mercury Lounge. The band also killed the crowd as part of a BV Day Party at SXSW 2009. They rule(d) and will be missed. Check out some videos below...

how anyone could call any member of this band a douchebag is beyond me. Nicest folks. And a great live band.

Watch as ex-members now start some shitty indie-folk project. Wish there was a Botch reunion...

It was all downhill from the first album...

i guess they figured it was time to give up the dream and get regular jobs. they should have done that several years ago.

hey JT-i prefer the Folk Implosion.

I'm sure they appreciate the concern, 2:50. More bands should heed the no-doubt sound career advice of anonymous, self-impressed internet commenters

great band. looking forward to whatever they do next.

Posted by Anonymous | January 12, 2010 3:10 PM

Posted by big one | January 12, 2010 11:45 PM

While I was a little half and half on they're recordings, they were excellent live! I only got to see them once, opening for Minus The Bear back in the Knitting Factory back in 2003 or 2004. But I hope their is a reason behind this.. like a mother fuckin' Botch reunion!?! PLEASE?!?!

these arms were snakes were shitty. to say so doesn't mean you're a bad person, just that you're a little less easily fooled than most. no singer was more annoying live, except for the fat guy from les savvvvvvyyyyy faffffvvvvv........
