We can't all be young forever, and I guess we can't even have the Like Young in our lives forever either. It seems the flame of music-making passion has expired for the Polyvinyl-signed power poppers, who've announced that next month's tour of the west will be their last.

One half of beloved tweesters Wolfie, husband and wife Joe and Amanda Ziemba formed the Like Young after their former group's dissolution at the beginning of this century. They leave us with three fine LPs, including this year's Last Secrets, and a handful of EPs and 7"s.

"There's no big drama, no inner turmoil," wrote Joe in an official statement. "The fact is, you can only take so much frustration and heartbreak before a once great love becomes something unpleasant and sad. The passion to create music is not what it once was for us."

Bid the band adieu at one of their farewell performances this September. Dates after the jump.
