Vivian Girls have announced that they have broken up. They'll play two final all-ages shows: one at L.A.'s Church on York on February 14, and another March 1 at Brooklyn's Death by Audio. Update: A second New York show has been added for March 2 at Baby's All Right.

On Facebook, the band explained and expressed gratitude:

Brooklyn, New York, March 2007: we started making music together and became what we know as Vivian Girls. It's been a long and crazy journey in the seven years since, and we feel as though the time has finally come to let our band rest in peace. It's been an experience that we'll look back on and cherish and we'd like to thank you for sharing it with us. We have had such an amazing time being a band, touring the world, releasing records and meeting all of you.

Vivian Girls had been largely inactive in recent years—following the release of 2011's Share the Joy, they focused on other projects. Katy Goodman moved to L.A. to play with her band La Sera, while Cassie Ramone plays in the Babies. Ali Koehler rejoined the band on drums in 2012; she currently fronts Upset alongside ex-Hole drummer Patty Schemel.
