Letters To Cleo has called it quits... sort of.
According to a report in the group's hometown paper "The Boston Globe," the eleven-year old group has disbanded, though the group's management told MTV News all the members were in the studio as recently as last Wednesday working on material for the upcoming animated series "Molly-O."
The band is contractually obligated to continue its work on the project, an animated show about an eight-year-old rock star which is set to debut on the WB Network this fall. Regardless, Letters To Cleo will not be recording another album or embarking on any road trips.
Singer Kay Hanley and her husband, guitarist Michael Eisenstein (who have a year-old daughter), are relocating to Los Angeles where Hanley, who also dabbles in theater, has landed an off-camera singing role in the live-action movie version of the '60s cartoon show "Josie And The Pussycats" (see ). Management also reports that the couple will be filming a promotional spot for "Molly-O."
Management noted that Hanley will eventually be recording a solo album, while guitarist Greg McKenna is currently writing songs for his own solo project. Bassist Scott Riebling has been taking on some production work. The band has been without a permanent drummer since the departure of Stacy Jones.
Letters To Cleo played its last show May 4 with Buffalo Tom in Boston, a benefit for local DJ Mikey Dee.
