Metal Sludge — In a pair of new social media posts, Bang Tango guitarist Mark Knight has told fans that he is quitting the band.

Knight took to his official Facebook and blogged: “Just wanted to say I am no longer part of the band Bang Tango! My best to them, and whoever may carry the torch! Time To move on, time to get going, what lies ahead I have no way of knowing”

The band announced their return in late 2019, featuring the original lineup consisting of Joe Leste (Vocals), Mark Knight (Guitars), Kyle Kyle (Bass), Kyle Stevens (Guitar) and Tigg Ketler (Drums).

The band reunited on stage for a live show, for the first time in decades back on January 20th 2020 in Hollywood at the world famous Whisky-A-Go-Go.

Knight noted that their plans for additional reunion shows in 2020 were somewhat halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a follow-up post Knight added: “Just to make this clear! This is no heart breaker story! Bang Tango original reunited and did one show. It was a sold out gig at the whisky a gogo! After that we turned down a couple high profile shows because of silly reasons I rather not get into! Time moved on and the pandemic stopped the reunion gig offers. Then some in fighting manifested and just like that the band kinda broke up. Some of the guys may carry on and my best to them! Me and Tigg Ketler are doing the Unsung Heroes.”

No word from anyone else in the Bang Tango camp as of this posting.
