OXBOW Breaks Up, Cites An Ongoing Allegation

Oxbow has sadly come to an finish, both completely or simply for a short time.

It began when vocalist Eugene Robinson left the band 4 days in the past. Partly, Robinson said his resolution was made “below the burden of irreconcilable variations, none of them aesthetic or musical, that I now should depart Oxbow.” On the time, Oxbow didn’t reply or acknowledge that Robinson had left the band and stayed silent on their social media channels.

Now Oxbow guitarist Niko Wenner has come out revealed that the band has damaged up as a result of a “latest allegation” made in opposition to him through the band’s 2024 European tour. Wenner notes (in an Instagram story captured by Lambgoat) that no matter occurred was “stated to have occurred in a crowd” and solely concerned Wenner and an unnamed get together. The total assertion from Wenner is as follows.

“Niko Wenner, Oxbow replace. An accusation was leveled at me, Niko, throughout our 2024 European Tour. It is in all probability not acceptable for me to offer particulars because the allegation continues to be unresolved. The alleged incident, stated to have occurred in a crowd, concerned solely myself and the particular person making the accusation. Not one of the others in Oxbow have been there.

“The accusation led to the cancellation of the final 4 reveals of our tour, all in France. I’ve all the time drastically loved taking part in in France and I apologize to anybody who had intentions of seeing us there. Eugene Robinson has at the least for now left the band, as he has already made public in his newest substack article.

“Because it stands now Oxbow as a band now not exists. Whether or not it is a everlasting state of affairs stays to be seen.”

Oxbow was shaped in 1988 as Ox Bow, and adjusted their identify to Oxbow in 1991. Oxbow launched eight albums between 1989 and 2023, their newest being Love’s Vacation.
