Singer Sheldon Tarsha announced his departure from ADLER'S APPETITE last week, saying it was "time now for me to follow my heart and continue working with my original band."

ADLER'S APPETITE's current lineup is rounded out by Alex Grossi (HOOKERS 'N' BLOW, ex-QUIET RIOT) on guitar and Michael Thomas (FASTER PUSSYCAT) on guitar.
