The trio who released their third album ‘This is the Third Album of a Band Called Adebisi Shank’ in August this year issued a statement on Facebook today which reads:
“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”

work on our solo stuff.
Thank you SO much to everyone who has supported
so far, we are so grateful and it has meant the world to us!”
