Fred & Toody Cole are done with rock n' roll (no more Dead Moon or Pierced Arrows) but will still play acoustic

With the death of Dead Moon drummer Andrew Loomis earlier this week, Toody Cole told Willametette Week the band — as well as her and Fred Cole‘s other band Pierced Arrows — are over and they are done with rock n roll:

Fred cannot handle being up onstage for an hour and a half with a 25 pound guitar wrapped around his head. He’s becoming too unsteady on his legs; his feet are numb. We’re 67 years old!…At this point, Fred’s rock’n’roll days are over. He knows it and he’s happy with it.

This does not mean that Fred & Toody are through with music altogether. She said that the couple will still play acoustic shows as a duo, performing songs from throughout their career.
