Post-hardcore band the Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower have announced that they will call it quits after their fall tour.

According to a statement, "The guys feel that as a band they have achieved everything they could have dreamed of and set out to do, including guesting on a Jayne County/Don Bolles project, touring around the world to OZ, Europe, NZ, and everywhere in between, and sharing the stage with almost every one of their favorite bands and friends.

"This upcoming tour is to say goodbye to all their fans and people [who] have supported them as well as to live out their final goal: opening for the Slits in NYC during CMJ." The Plot will also play multiple dates with Genghis Tron, the Mall, and AIDS Wolf.

Three of the band's four members will continue to play and record together as the Prayers, who trade their old band's sound for a throwback to 60s pop. The Prayers have two late September dates in Southern California before the Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower tour begins in October.
