The 101 Is Dead... Long Live The 101

I've told you about Brooklyn's The 101 before. The band, which featured Eric Richter from 90's emo legends Christie Front Drive, released two excellent albums which didn't receive nearly enough attention. I still listen to their debut LP, Green Street, all the time.

Sadly, The 101 are no more. However, according to a post over at the Christie Front Drive message boards, Eric already has a new band:

it's happening as we speak. we're planning on recording a demo this summer. i'm really, really happy with it thus far. i just can't do the three piece thing anymore. the 101 is dead.

He also stated that the new band's music "actually sounds more like cfd than anything i've done since."

One band ends, but it sounds like a great new one is born. Can't wait to hear new music from these guys.
