And then there were two - again...

Sad news from the Low camp - they're back to being a husband and wife combo of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker, with Matt Livingston having departed after only two years of performing bass duties.

Not surprising that they've written on their site that they're "beginning to wonder if maybe THEY are the problem. Livingston's relatively long-lasting predecessor Zak Sally said much the same when he quit in the wake of the tour for 2005's The Great Destroyer, Sparhawk's mental instability and mood swings having become too much to take.

They have at least got a replacement for this year's tour - which includes headlining the End Of The Road festival in September - in the shape of Steve Garrington. He'll also be replacing Livingston on tour with Sparhawk's side project Retribution Gospel Choir. Just giving their MySpace a listen now, and I'm not sold - yet.
