Chairlift Break Up
Chairlift have announced they will break up following a final run of shows in the spring of 2017. At their headlining show in their hometown of Brooklyn last night, singer Caroline Polachek thanked fans in attendance for their support. “It’s been a wild year—we put out Moth in January and now we’re back home playing for you guys,” she said. “We wanted to announce that in spring of next year, Chairlift is going to be playing our final shows.” She then promised that dates would be officially revealed in early 2017. Read a statement from the band via their Twitter below.
Chairlift was founded by Aaron Pfenning and Polachek in 2005, with Patrick Wimberly joining the group before the release of their debut full-length Does You Inspire You in 2008. Pfenning departed the group in 2010, and the band have remained a duo since. In 2014, Polachek released her debut solo album Arcadia under the name Ramona Lisa. She and Wimberly worked on Beyoncé’s self-titled album from 2013, co-writing the song “No Angel.”
