Captain Ahab announce their last show, forever pining for that green light and the love of socialite Daisy Buchanan

Having spent much of their adult lives in search of the convict Jean Valjean, Captain Ahab are calling it quits. Though the band explains (?) their break-up through this video, one can only assume that their failed suicide pact with their secret lover contributed to the decision. They also produced a short statement on their Facebook page, which reads as follows: “Perhaps you could guess by our lack of activity & shows this year, but we’re bringing Captain Ahab to an end. Our final show will be November 2, 2012 at The Smell in Los Angeles, CA. Thanks for the years of support.”

There you have it. It doesn’t touch on their exhaustion and confusion of living in a society where books are outlawed and burned, but it does provide some valuable information. And, hey, there’s one more show before Captain Ahab shoot that albatross and voyage forever in a state of madness and terror. Supporting them in this venture will be Toxic Lipstick, Foot Village, and Books on Tape, three groups who have become unstuck in time. Goodbye, Captain Ahab, may you rip the arm from the cursed beast Grendel.

And that’s my book report.
