Supersystem, the NYC/DC four-piece dance-punk attack, have broken up. The goodbye follows their sophomore LP, A Million Microphones, which landed on Touch & Go in August, as well as a tour in support of that album.

A statement on Supersystem's website reads, "After 10 years, the members of Supersystem/El Guapo have decided to disband. From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank everyone at Touch and Go, Dischord, Flower, Locusta, and others too numerous to name here for all your help over the years.

"Most of all we would like to thank everyone who supported us, saw us play, listened to our music, set up a show, played a show with us, or otherwise participated in making our time as a band really awesome. We appreciate it and will miss you!"

But the now ex-Supersystem members have no plans to leave the music biz. Justin Moyer will continue on as DeSoto act Edie Sedgwick, as well as a member of the trio Antelope.

Pete Cafarella will devote his full attention to Shy Child, who currently have three gigs scheduled in Europe: one at London, England's Forum on December 8, another at Rennes, France's Trans Musicale Festival on December 9, and the last at London's Fabric on December 22. They're expected to wrap up work on a new record by Christmas, and plan to release a single in early 2007.

Rafael Cohen is working with Molly Schnick, formerly of Out Hud, and finally, Joshua Blair will continue on with Orthrelm.
