Break Up
On 18 December 2006 Sounds Like Chicken announced they were calling it a day in a bulletin released on the band's MySpace. The main factors in the breakup was the future departure of Nyall Dawson and other key members of the band, the band stated...
"We guess it’s time for some of us to move on. God has other plans for our lives and with the impending departure of some key members, we felt that SLC would simply not be SLC if we went on without them. We all feel at peace about this decision."
Shortly after, the band announced plans for an Australia wide farewell tour to take place in February–March 2007, along with the release of a final limited-edition compilation disk titled Death To The Crow to coincide with the tour.
Sounds Like Chicken's final show was held at TLC Bayswater, Victoria on Saturday 17 March 2007.
The band's entire discography (except for Death To The Crow) was made available for free download on their website and on Jamendo
In April 2007, former SLC members Mike Haydon, Dave Powys, Ben Hobson, Nat Kitingan and Joel Dawson together with new addition Paul McCasker formed reggae-rock band San Salvador. They released an ep How To Hear and two singles "Like a Train" and "Spark the Fire".
Former members Mike Haydon and Joe Ireland now play in indie band The Middle East which featured two tracks in Triple J's hottest 100 in 2010.
