Adebisi Shank have announced their only live appearance in Ireland in 2012, at Castlebar’s new independent music venue, The Clubhouse this summer.
Adebisi Shank are an electric, energetic, loud band from Wexford. Taking their cue from acts such as Battles, Oxes and Lite, their debut LP This Is The Album Of A Band Called Adebisi Shank shines through with rays of inventiveness, that would teach a few of their contemporaries a thing or two in the art of writing, without ever leaning into the self indulgent persuasions many have fallen ill to when attempting this sort of 'art noise'.
Creating a record of supreme layers, and intricate execution by every means, needs a good pair of hands at the helm making sure everything fits into place. And everything fits in perfectly with J Robbins (ex-Jawbox singer and production mastermind behind records from Mock Orange, Faraquet, Ponytail, Dismemberment Plan, Braid, Texas Is The Reason, Against Me and many more ) having headed this trio's debut.
The record was recorded in June 2008 at the famous Magpie Cage Studios in Baltimore, Maryland and mastered at Inner Ear studios by Aloha guitarist, TJ Lipple. With the approval of such highly respected musical individuals it's already evident that this little three piece from Wexford will be making huge waves in and amongst the ever growing field of experimental, polyrhytmic, precision based music lovers.
Since then the band have recorded their second album, This Is The Second Album By A Band Called Adebisi Shank, to rave reviews.
