Bassist
Brent Ashley left
STATIC-X last month. His final show with the band took place on September 1 at the House Of Blues in West Hollywood, California. He wrote on his
Facebook page, "[I] wish things would have ended differently, but I'm very excited for what the future will bring." He added on
Twitter, "Being the professional that I am, I won't call anyone out or point fingers as to why I left. But, if ya meet me in person … feel free to ask."
Original
STATIC-X bassist
Tony Campos — who is currently on the road with
SOULFLY — issued a statement in July indicating that he had "no interest in working with [
STATIC-X frontman]
Wayne Static, now, or anytime in the foreseeable future."
Regarding his decision to resurrect
STATIC-X,
Wayne said, "I really just wanted to go back to old-school
STATIC-X since the band has been gone for a few years. The last tour I was on I did a lot of my solo stuff, and I'm ready to get back to old-school
STATIC-X stuff, which is actually new again."
STATIC-X's recent trek marked the band's first outing since they announced a hiatus in 2009.
