In March 2001, less than a month away from a United States tour set to begin on April 14, At the Drive-In announced an indefinite hiatus at the height of their popularity thus far. The band had played their final show of the preceding world tour on February 21, 2001, in Groningen , the Netherlands. Rodríguez-López said: “After a non-stop six-year cycle of record/tour/record/tour, we are going on an indefinite hiatus. We need time to rest up and re-evaluate, just to be human beings again and to decide when we feel like playing music again.” However, in 2002 Hajjar stated that the band had split for good, with the idea of this being a temporary hiatus “just press crap”.
