In 2006 at [[Toad Suck Daze]], an annual festival in Conway, Arkansas, the band made several statements indicating that they would soon retire the band and pursue individual goals. They assured the audience, however, that they would be parting on the best of terms. The exact date of any 'final show,' however, was not mentioned.
