Seems like they broke up--according to Pfork:

"Test Icicles Melt

Matthew Solarski reports:
Well, it was fun while it lasted. But just like that beloved snowman in your front yard, Britain's ace chaos-provocateurs Test Icicles have passed on to a better place (possibly the troposphere). Chalk it up to the burdens of hype, egos, drugs, infighting, or Arctic Monkeys-- no matter what, the headstone still reads: R.I.P. Test Icicles: 2004-February 2006.

Here's the official statement:

'The band have just come off a European tour and are exhausted from the constant pressures of touring--subsequently they have cancelled their show at the NME Awards show this Friday and US tour. The band will play their UK tour in April, but there are currently no plans to make another album or tour beyond this.'

As you read, the band have scrapped their much-anticipated U.S. shows, as well as that sold-out NME gig opening for Nine Black Alps. They will, however, still play those five UK dates in April, recapped below."
