Thank You, I'm Sorry was an indie rock ensemble originating from Chicago, Illinois.

History

Initially launched in 2018 as a solo endeavor by vocalist Colleen Dow, Thank You, I'm Sorry evolved into a full band over time. The group secured a contract with the Michigan-based label Count Your Lucky Stars Records in early 2020. That February, Dow unveiled an acoustic record titled The Malta House, inspired by the community of Malta, Illinois. Shortly thereafter, the project grew into a quartet featuring bassist Bethunni Schreiner, guitarist Abe Anderson, and drummer Sage Livergood. Their first full-length album, I'm Glad We're Friends, was released on August 21, 2020, through Count Your Lucky Stars and garnered favorable critical reception.

In early 2022, the band introduced the single "Parliaments". Their second studio album, Growing in Strange Places, arrived on September 29, 2023, serving as their concluding release with Count Your Lucky Stars. On January 31, 2024, they announced plans for a self-released EP titled Repeating Threes, scheduled for release on March 8.

On May 29, 2024, it was revealed that Anderson and Schreiner departed the group to explore other opportunities; Dow and Livergood decided to carry on Thank You, I'm Sorry with fresh members.

Hiatus and disbandment

On October 22, 2024, Dow declared that the band's performance on October 29 in Portland, Oregon would be their final show "for awhile". She clarified that while the band was not necessarily ending permanently, it was important to "take a step back and allow the work I've done to speak for itself" as this chapter came to a close. Dow also mentioned shifting attention toward her other musical project, Mealworm, describing it as "a project that doesn't make me feel perpetually 19".

On July 16, 2025, Dow confirmed via Instagram that Thank You, I'm Sorry had officially ceased activities.
