Talk:The Softies

Untitled
"The band partook on a few tours throughout their union, including as an opening act for singer/songwriter Elliott Smith."

I don't know about that. Every time I saw a Smith/Softies show, Smith was the opener. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.223.12.150 (talk) 16:03, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Did they really break up?
I know we don't use YouTube videos as citations, but I just recently saw Rose and Jen on a YouTube video playing at a club in Brooklyn... from August 2012! And there have been quite a few other videos of The Softies are far more recent performances. --DanTD 21:46, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Good catch. They did break up, but do seem to be playing a few shows this year. I've added a line to the article about it. This tour appears just to be a one-off thing, though, so I would not say that they are back together as a band, unless we hear further. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 13:04, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
