Gel has possibly called it a day following Japan tour

gel

Update: The band has officially disbanded.


Last night Gel performed at Earthdom in Toyko, JP as part of their 2 night Japanese tour. Following the show it seems like the band has decided to call it quits, according to the Japanese promoter.

Local promoter, Japangigs, posted the clips to social media saying that the performance was Gel's final show as a band. 

 

 

Oddly enough, in the video posted Gel's founding guitarist, Anthony Webster, is not with the band and instead Ekulu guitarist Connor Jones is filling in. It is rumored Webster exited the band months ago, though nothing was mentioned publicly.

Gel has yet to say anything or make a formal statement, in addition the band has a very busy year lined up with playing Coachella, supporting Spiritbox alongside Dying Wish on their North American run this Spring, a headlining run UK & European run with Anxious, and supporting Volbeat and Bush on their European tour this Fall. 

This is a developing story and will be updated as new information is available.

They'll finish their touring obligations w/ another guitarist for sure. No way they are gonna leave all that money on the table.

anonymous 5 days ago

"They'll finish their touring obligations w/ another guitarist for sure. No way they are gonna leave all that money on the table." "all that money" lol spoken like a guy who's never been in a touring HC band overseas. earthdom is essentially a basement with a bar, this band was making zero money off this.

All these DEI bands are sh*tting it now because if a black muslim zulu was put through the wringer then there isn't a foreskin's chance in a synagogue that any of these whities are going to survive all the allegations that will invariably spring up. So get out quick before the witch hunts begin

anonymous 5 days ago

Thank f*ck for that! Scowl, Brat, and No Cure next, please!

anonymous 5 days ago

Lambgoat can't believe getting shit wrong. Connor is touring with them not Michael.

And what exactly is a DEI band? Man, you're Rick-levels of stupid, lil guy.

If this were real it would follow an amusing pattern of Blue Gr*pe signed bands abruptly quitting (Code Orange doing it first obviously).

anonymous 5 days ago

If someone ever puts a gun to my head and tells me to name them a Gel song, tell my mom I loved her. Really Lamegoat? You're gonna delete that? Hire some people who aren't 15 years old and offended at every little thing

^^^ There's no trans people in the band. There's two "nonbinary" women who have since stopped even claiming to be that. It was a sad clout grab that worked.
