I've heard from a few people that they are breaking up.

[Kid B]

They were only good with Jason Schwartzman as songwriter.

[Carlo Marx]

Last Phantom Planet Show.
This could be the most difficult piece of news we have ever had to post. Sadly, Phantom Planet will be playing our last show, December 12, at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, the same venue that we played our very first live all ages gig, back in 1994. We have had an amazing time playing together for 15 years, but we have officially decided to go on hiatus, and will not be playing any more live shows or making any new records, indefinitely. There is so much more to write, but at this time, we just want to say thank you, to everyone, for their support, friendship, inspiration, attendance, and love.

i heard they couldn't take the teenage girls who like really really bad music that keep flocking them anymore, but i dunno, it really is sad... :-(

I thought it was just a hiatus?

They were only good with Jason Schwartzman as songwriter.
Disagree. Raise The Dead is an amazing album, nearly on par with The Guest. The self titled had some gems on it too, even though it was really hit and miss.

this is too bad, I saw them live recently and they were really good. They also played a new song, so it's surprising to hear they are breaking up.
