After more than 12 years together, in February 2005 they announced that they were going on an indefinite hiatus. They explained that they "needed a rest," although Pipi claimed that the decision was made by Pulpul alone, and the rest of the group had to quit as they could not continue without him. In fact, there are rumors, based on the attitude of both sides, that there were internal squabbles between Joxemi, Pipi, and Pulpul. Even so, the group declared that "the possibility of a future return remains open." They also announced a farewell tour.
