Mumm-Ra have split up.
The announcement was made via their Myspace site,and read: "After seven years, 11 months and 21 days of writing and playing music together us Mumm-Ra boys have decided our journey as a band has come to an end.
"It has without doubt been the most fantastic adventure any of us could possibly have imagined all those years ago, when the rather naive idea to form a band sprang from our young minds and led us to the nearest practise room.
"Since then we have eaten in skyscrapers in Tokyo, danced with Tottenham fans im Cologne, made a video in Hollywood, posed with the playboy bunnies in Barcelona, met real life rednecks in Texas, had street fights with The View, played Glastonbury, rocked the NME tour to pieces, supported The Killers, The Kooks and Kaiser Chiefs around Europe and generally just had the most incredible time along the way.
"We would like to thank every single person who has supported us over the years whether it be through buying our album, coming to our gigs or just giving us a listen. No doubt various members will have new projects up and running in the near future. But until then...”
Mumm-Ra released one album, ‘These Things Move in Threes’, which came out just over a year ago. Get a review

They were also an excellent live band. Among the places we caught them were the
NME Tour at Brixton Academy, where they supported the likes of The View and The Automatic, and
V 2007.
