    Friends, I should have posted this a long time ago. Rothko have played their last show and have released their last record. I am now working with original Rothko member Crawford Blair, under the name Rome Pays Off. I'd like to thank everyone so much for their incredible support through the years. The best of wishes, and thanks for your wonderful comments. Mark xx

    Truth Burns... Easily the greatest song by these guys... Paints a picture in my mind that I will never forget <---- Extremely corny statement... But the undeniable truth..

    Hello folks, just to let you know, we are not appearing at Redfest, as is shown in the Events box. It is a different group, not us. Thanks. Mark.

    Surprisingly, Rothko is not very popular comparing with other post rock bands.
