Eric Moore has left King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, the drummer/manager revealed in a statement. Moore, one of the band’s two drummers, will continue working with Flightless Records.
“I hope that the shows, tours and Gizzfests made an impression and provided an outlet for joy and lasting memories,” Moore wrote. “Whilst I’m deeply saddened by this decision, I don’t have any regrets and have enjoyed every fuckin second of being in this band and the journey it has taken us on. I’ll forever be in awe of the musicianship, creativity and work ethic of every single member. I was a fan boy from day one and am so grateful for everything I’ve learnt with my best mates by my side. Life goes on however, and I’m excited to keep growing the label and continuing to champion new artists and business endeavours until the lights go out.”
The band also posted a statement on Instagram, writing: “Over the last decade as both member and manager, from airport to soundcheck and from tourbus to stage he was there each step of the way. Eric made an immeasurable contribution to the band and we’re sad to see him go! We gotta thank him for his devotion, fervour and good times. We’re so grateful to have had the privilege of travelling the world with one of our best buddies. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours and we’ll miss ya on the road mate.”
