Banjo & Mandolin Player parts ways with The Ramshackle Army.
It is with a heavy heart that The Ramshackle Army announce the first lineup change since the bands inception in 2010, as Banjo, Mandolin and Bouzouki player Loc Kibell has decided to part ways with the band. It has been a long, arduous but enjoyable as all hell time over the last two years. The band has played a seemingly endless string of shows thoughout Victoria, the East Coast of Australia and North America, but Loc has decided that it is time to close this chapter and move on to the next.
There is no seedy, hidden story behind this and Loc will play out the band’s run of festival and St Patrick’s Day shows before one final Melbourne hoorah, the details of which will follow.
What this means for The Ramshackle Army is that following the completion of this run, the band are going to take a breath and try to fill the shoes left by Loc. This break will allow the band to complete the writing of their debut album and come back with a new look, new sound and new horizons.
As much as it will be strange for the band to progress without a founding and integral member, sometimes forced change allows everyone to take stock and reassess the path down which they were heading.
The Ramshackle Army will support everything and anything our brother Loc does in the future, and we hope that all of you come out and show your support for him one more time.
If you or anyone you know are interested and joining Celtic punks The Ramshackle Army in the position of Banjo and Mandolin player, please feel free to drop a line to theramshacklearmy@gmail.com and the band will be only too happy to pass on some more details.
