Taken from Nursery Forum / Basterdized.On May 31st BMB were booked to play at Emporium Festival in Nijmegen, Holland.
Both Karl and Tony (Regis and Surgeon) were at the festival before their set, but 10 minutes before they were due to start, Karl disappeared without explanation.
Not being able to do anything else, Tony went on to play the set himself.
Neither Natasha nor Tony were able to contact Karl via phone or email for the next 6 days and were increasingly worried about his personal well-being as he had been acting in an erratic manner before the gig.
On 6th June we received the following email from him; he has refused any further communication.
Dear Tony and Natasha
After much consideration about both my personal and professional future, I
have come to the decision that with
immediate effect I no longer want to continue with BRITISH MURDER BOYS /
DYNAMIX DJ BOOKINGS . There is no need
for further correspondance as my decision is final and I want you to
respect this.
This also means that I am going to withdraw from all confirmed or tbc
bookings.
I am sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
I wish you all the best for the future.
KARL
We are very disappointed with his sudden decision and lack of any explanation for his actions.
Karl had worked with Tony for 14 years, and with Natasha for 10 years and we are unable to understand or explain his sudden decision.
British Murder Boys has ended.
Karl no longer works with Dynamix DJs.

hehe fun fun fun
regis is a legend =)So. Behind their eyes the hope in them was sickening, and in many, dead. They lived from event to event with a subtle terror of the gap between, filling up their lives with distractions to avoid the emptiness where curiosity should have been, and breathing a gasp of relief when the children passed the point of asking questions about what life was for.

I'll pretext this by saying that I have massive respect for both Surgeon and Regis as producers and performers, and that I quite like their output...
... but I for one have never quite understood the rampant hard on that everybody has for BMB. It's not that they aren't good, it's just that they aren't as mindblowing as everybody seems to think. I've seen them twice: they were pretty good the first time and a little disappointing the second.
Just my opinion, of course.

Only ever heard one Regis set, was on John Peel and it was ace. Haven't heard a lot of his productions but what I have heard have been quality. Maybe he'll do a Umek :)

nothing standard about walking out on a gig 10 minutes before hand and blanking peoples attempts at contacting you. Originally Posted by Martin Dust

im not surprised some people have drawn conclusions, it does sound like something has happened along the way somewhere. good to hear he's fine though.

Karl is Karl, which is a bit zen but shit happens sometimes Tech. I also wasn't surprised that people have drawn some conclusions, more surprised at daft conclusions they came up with.
I'd like to start a rumour that Karl has joined the Min_s team for the cube tour ;)
