Announcement on their Instagram page
quote:


Dear fans, friends, and family,

We are sorry to announce that our performance at this weekend's Bear Creek Bayou Music Festival on Friday will be our final show together. We feel it is right that it will be at home in New Orleans as a part of the first festival we ever played. We have traveled throughout the entire country, made life long friends and we feel fortunate to have accomplished things as a band we never would have imagined when we first began. Please keep an eye out for our own individual endeavors as we move forward! Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for the constant love and support over these past seven years.

With love,
Earphunk


Wonder what happened? I will miss their Daft Phunk shows.

I really thought they were the next Bag of Donuts or Chee Weez. A band that would be around and having fun for a long time to come

That's not really a fair standard. 'Phunk was pretty good, but in the same rare air as BoD's? Chee Weez? Nah. Not on their best night.

I heard they had been having problems with lead guitarist getting fricked up too much for a while. It is not clear if this is the reason for the break-up.

Earphunk is so much better than CHee Weez and Bag of Donuts and it isn't even close.

These dudes actually make their own original music, are signed to a real world class label, and have had multiple nation wide tours.

Earphunk got famous from playing daft punk covers. They then basically just became Galactic/Meters/STS9 Junior

Who says Bag of Dognuts can't do that?

They are highly respected in the funk world and also have electronic and jam band crossover appeal, and They have been big on the festival circuit for a while now.

Yeah the Daft Phunk tour definitely blew them up, but they've had a lot of success besides that.
