Spitalfield was a rock band based in Chicago, signed to the Victory Records label. Formed in 1998, Spitalfield caught the attention of Victory Records with their 2002 release The Cloak And Dagger Club EP and a year later released fan-favorite Remember Right Now. The group sold over 130,000 records and performed in nine countries over three continents before disbanding at the end of 2007. The band's name comes from what members describe as a village where Jack the Ripper came from. The name for this location is actually Spitalfields, and is a section of London's East End. Spitalfield announced their breakup and subsequent goodbye tour on September 10, 2007. Their last official show was December 23, 2007 at 'The Metro', in Chicago, Illinois.
Since the breakup, Mark Rose has pursued a solo singer/songwriter career, playing more of a progressive pop & blues sound. He released his first full length album, Wonderful Trouble, independently on July 5th, 2011. The album was produced by Sean O'Keefe, who worked with Spitalfield on their 2003 release, Remember Right Now. JD Romero & TJ Milici play together in the band Thrillage. Daniel Lowder hasn't played a guitar in years.
Summer of 2010, Spitalfield performed a few reunion shows. On June 2, 2010, Spitalfield played a surprise short set at Angels & Kings Chicago. The band then played two sold out concerts at The Beat Kitchen on August 27 & 28, 2010.
