Yep it’s as sad sounding as the title seems. They had recently mentioned that their album launch shows would be their last in Ireland.
It’s not some new found dislike for the country, the band are actually breaking up to pursue other career paths and will no longer be together as Adebisi Shank.
I’m sure anyone who’s caught them live, enjoyed their music, read anything about them on any of the GoldenPlec pages or any other site covering Irish artists, will be sadden by the news and will agree that their is not a massive Shank shaped hole in our hearts.
We wish them well in their future careers. Talents bunch, one and all.
Dear friends,
We hereby announce the end of a band called Adebisi Shank. From the three of us to all of you, thank you for coming with us on this crazy journey. To Cathy and the Sargent House crew past and present, thank you for believing in us.
Life and music moves on – Lar is making music in All Tvvins, Vin is producing/mixing, working on video games and other cool stuff as VMC Sound, and is also one half of Speed of Snakes. Mick will continue to train for his UFC career.
This Thursday and Friday in Whelans, we will play on an Irish stage for the very last time. Join us if you can. After that, we intend to honour our one existing overseas tour commitment.
To any kids starting bands we offer one piece of advice – play music you love, with people you love, for the people you love.
We saw a million faces
Vin, Lar + Mick (-_-) xxx
