Sadly the band will be splitting up in February 2009 - here's their final statement:
"I’m sure it comes as no big surprise, since the mailouts have dried up and the shows have become sparse. Summa are finally calling it a day. After a good 7+ years, we’ve had to come round to the fact that life has moved on and we all have other commitments that require our time, leaving less and less room for the band.
We’ve had a great time, met some awesome people and played some excellent shows. We want to finish on a high so we’re playing one final gig and releasing one last CD before we go. Those of you that have been along to the last few gigs will know that we’ve written a whole new set and the good news is that we’ve recorded all the new songs.
The idea is to have the CD ready for the final show and if we’re lucky, that’s how it will go. We want to get it right, so there is a chance that the CD will come along a bit later. We’ll let you know nearer the time. We’ve got our friend James Holt producing it, he’s already got it sounding great and he’s dedicated to getting it done, so it’ll sound excellent no matter what happens.
Our final show is going to be on the 7^th of February at The Gander in Bournemouth . It’s one of Bear’s shows and will have us on a bill with Ramses and our good friends I Am Colossus! If you’re nearby, come in and have beer with us. We are playing second so we’ve got plenty of drinking time.
Thank you for supporting us through the years, for coming along to the shows and giving a shit about our music. It’s been a long, stressful, but massively fulfilling ride. We hope you enjoyed it nearly half as much as we did. Summa".
