The End of Quarashi (2005)
On 5 August 2005, Sölvi Blöndal did an interview in the Fréttablaðið where he announced that Quarashi had broken up, saying that being a member of Quarashi wasn't fun anymore. Omar Swarez later confirmed this to be true on the official Quarashi messageboard, saying that he had originally intended to quit the group, but instead The Q boys decided it was time to stop making music together. After nine years and six records, Quarashi was no more.
Quarashi's final concert was on 15 April 2005, in Akureyri, Iceland.
In a July 2009 interview with the Quarashi fan blog, QuarashiMusic, Tiny further elaborated on the breakup, revealing that Steini a.k.a. Stoney had already quit the group before Omar made his intentions to leave known. Tiny also said in the interview that by the time he joined Quarashi in 2003, the rest of the group had begun to lose interest in making music together, and that that lack of interest only grew over the course of making Guerilla Disco and performing live to promote it. By the time promotion for Guerilla Disco had ended, The Q boys had no desire to carry on as a group any longer.
For a short time, rumours circulated that Sölvi Blöndal had signed a deal with Sony to release Guerilla Disco in the U.S.A. in September 2005. This was confirmed as false by Omar Swarez on the official Quarashi messageboard.
