It’s with a heavy heart and a tear in the HP Newsdesk eye that we report 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,” the chaps say in an official band communique. “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 Whelan’s 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”
In addition to three excellent albums and a slew of amazing live shows, the trio were also an integral part of the Richter Collective and encouraged dozens of young bands to take up arms. We’ll miss you, lots!
