I don't know about this one...

I mean - I remember reading something to that effect a while back, like after they played a gig in South America. I was soooooo pissed, b/c I've never been able to see them live, as well - they've done like maybe 12 shows in the US over the past 12 years? (and basically just on the coasts)

but then - a few days later, Hooky took it back

I can't imagine that they'd 'break up' just before the Ian Curtis movie comes out... which - they (NO) seem to keep going back & forth about wether or not it'll be a good film (and their influence on it)

that all being said.

sure it would've been great to hear some of the older songs played live (and completely ruined) but on the other hand, I pretty much disliked the majority of "Waiting for the Siren's Call"

and three albums in ~12 years - two of which weren't that great (Republic + Waiting...) ... I mean... maybe it's not that bad if they really have broken up?
