Two Year Hiatus? Options

[Hoodstock]

In July of 2009, Live announced that the band would take a two-year hiatus to work on other projects. This was the start of a long split ended by reunion shows in 2017 and the release of Love Lounge in 2018.

I believe Live's last concert was Feb. 20, 2020 (I'm glad I was able to see them a few days earlier on the 16th). They have not performed since and have not released anything since Local 717. Multiple bands have found time to release new music, stream performances, and tour since Covid became reality, but not Live.

With the calendar turning to December of 2021 Live is less than three months away from completing another two year hiatus. For all intensive purposes they have been dead for two years with no sign of life in sight.

Since the announcement of their grand reunion in December of 2016 they've recorded and released four new songs and a cover. If you count the cover that's an average of one song per year. It's obvious that they are no longer a studio band. Holding out hope they are still at least a touring band.

It’s extremely disappointing.
It has been said that “a girl’s favorite band has never broken her heart and has yet to leave her.”
This band has managed to do both things.

I’m deciding there’s no way they are still a studio band. No way.

If they are a touring band, why aren’t they touring or trying to tour, like pretty much every other music group in existence?

Which leads me to believe they are neither.

Therefore, why does Līve’s social media account (and Chad T.’s, for that matter) try to portray they are still together? Pulling the wool over fans’ eyes is wrong.

All of this leads then back to a thread I had titled with this question: Where is Ed?
Whether they are studio, touring, or non-existent should not keep him silent or hold back his solo work. It has been almost an entire year and we’ve seen hide nor hair of him. What kind of rock star goes silent for a year?
