It came down to economics-it was too hard financially to keep 3 guys on the road.  The guys
decided in January after another break-even tour to end the "VOL".  Bill has been flirting with
going solo for a couple of years since basically it's him and whichever rotating cast of
characters is playing behind him-hence the transition when they went from "Vigilantes of Love"
to "Bill Mallonee and Vigilantes of Love"-sort of a precursor to the inevitable solo career.
