Hi,
Nate and I have stopped producing music under the name String Theory as
of 1 January 2005. There are no less than five other bands or projects
also using the name, so we figured rather than deal with possible
confusion or lawyers we would just change the name of the project.
String Theory, as a scientific subject, has been superceded by M-Theory
(
http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/gr/public/qg_ss.html), which attempts
to unify the five superstring theories and the 11-dimensional
supergravity theory into one Mother-of-all theories. Unfortunately
M-Theory is a pretty gay band name, possibly suited to a BT or Paul Van
Dyk side-project, so we decided to say "fuck physics" altogether. For
more information on M-Theory, please consult
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-theory.
We are now producing and performing as Thorny Tigers. Thorny Tigers
should be considered a functional descendent of String Theory, though
not the same band. Even though the members are the same. For more
information on Tigers, suckle again at the teat of Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigers. Or
http://thornytigers.com.
Thorny Tigers will be playing their second show on 14 April 2005 at the
Empty Bottle in Chicago with Midstates, Alan Astor and The Idle Hours.
We are performing a 30-minute set starting at precisely 9:30pm so don't
show up at 10pm and front like you're all disappointed that you missed us.
Other projects will be forthcoming soon.
Our final release as String Theory is titled "Rubyray". It is available
via the Electrochelou web label (
http://www.pas-sages.org/). I wish I
spoke French so I could read the copy, which probably says very nice
things about our music.
Here is a direct link to the Rubyray page.

String Theory's richly storied back catalogue is and will continue to be
available through the fine people at Skam Records, Consumer's Research
and Development, Someoddpilot, and Wobblyhead.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
xo,
Strings/Tigers
