Water School breaks up
Local indie rock group Water School (pictured) has decided to call it quits, said singer/guitarist Chris Myers.
Bassist Eric Hopkins is getting married and is ready to settle down, and Myers was growing tired of the day-to-day duties of being in the band, he said.
Their third album, titled Third Album, may not be released. But you can hear a song or two from it at their MySpace site.
They also posted a cover of the Gary B and the Notions song "Three Horse Carousel."
"We have a bit of a rivalry going on between us," Myers said.
It's not much of a rivalry if your band just broke up, I said.
"Well, it was for a second there," he said.

J.M. : CNN is too busy with reporting real news like "Bush's niece designs bag to help hungry' and 'Beyonce, Jay-Z married? Party says yes'.
