Key Points

1解散(かいさん) = a group breaking up

Here 解散(かいさん) means the band Lex has disbanded.
It is used for organizations, groups, and teams splitting up or being dissolved.

2しちまった adds casual regret or emphasis

解散(かいさん)しちまった is a contracted spoken form of 解散(かいさん)してしまった.
In this line it gives a rough, conversational feel: “they went and broke up”.

3のもあるぞ = there’s even one of those too

The omitted noun after の is something like poster or item.
Kogoro is saying there is even memorabilia from a band that has already broken up.

ちゃん is an affectionate, informal suffix attached to names, used mainly for children, close friends, and family members.
