Cool and Unusual played their last set together at last night’s Teens for Darfur benefit concert.

It’s the end of an era. "We’ve been together since 8th grade," Jack Greenleaf told the audience before the band launched into a nostalgic rendition of the Pixie’s, "Where is My Mind," one of the first songs they played.

Apparently, they were thinking about playing, "Another One Bites the Dust," the first song they ever played but decided against it in favor of the Pixie’s tune.

It’s amazing how far they’ve come since 8th grade. In the last few months the band has really come into it’s own; each of the four adding something special to the mix.

Last night was probably their best show ever. It made their parents sad to think that the band would never grace the stage of the Old Stone House, Rocky Sullivan’s or the Cake Shop again. The music was exhilarating, tight and the set list perfectly paced.

Whey are they breaking up? The answer isn’t clear. Maybe they just need a break. Some of them may want to concentrate on other things (homework, college, other musical projects).

None of the parents really understand it. But hey, in rock and roll, they say, it’s good to go out when you’re at the top of your game.

The crowd loved the night’s spirited performance and sang and danced along, especially with their signature tune, "The Odyssey."

But when they were done: it was done. Another one bites the dust.
