Very few bands at this level are full time; most members juggle musical activities around day jobs. A few are full-time musicians, but you can tell who they are because they’re all in multiple bands.

Good point Tim, how on earth do these bands make a living? And at least Karnataka’s last album and DVD were pretty good, promising an interesting future.

Difficult to disagree with any of that, but let’s wait and see. Maybe give it a year or two and they will reinvent themselves and bounce back.

Worth noting that Karnataka haven’t toured since their two very extensive tours in 2012, and have played even fewer gigs in 2013 and 2014 than The Reasoning. But they are currently in the studio, appear to be on track to release their new album early in the new year, and have extensive tour plans for 2015.

Very sad news, after the impact of the first two brilliant albums, it seems to have been downhill ever since with constant line up changes, mediocre albums and very little touring..
I would love to hear a great new album but the band seems to have run it’s course and I hope Rachel can find a way to make use of her amazing voice.

Shame as they are very good live; I was looking forward to seeing them at The Robin.
I would have thought a missed opportunity to ‘road test’ some new material!
