No More Ozma

Apparently Weezer favorites, Ozma, have broken up. The band has posted the following message on their website:

Our band has been the main focus of our lives for almost 9 years, and the decision to break up was an extremely difficult but necessary one for us to make. After reading your responses to Ryen's announcement, I am moved and my heart is warmed knowing that the music the five of us made together connected with you and was relevant to your lives in a very real, positive way. This is a true success with respect to our intentions as a creative partnership, and therefore the name OZMA now represents a group accomplishment that we five will always share. Regardless of any popularity, notoriety, or relative obscurity we may have attained along the way, I am ultimately most proud of the fact that we achieved our unspoken goal of making music which others found to be truly meaningful. This is an achievement that not every rock band can honestly boast, even some much more famous than ours.

I must also take this last opportunity to express our gratitude towards our families, close friends, and business management team who (occasionally against their better judgment) supported us through many long years of practicing, writing, recording, and touring. Particularly appreciative thanks belong to the Edwards family, whose continuous generosity contributed immensely to Ozma's progress and success.

Sincerely,

Daniel Brummel
singer/bassist
