We finally hit 1000 followers this past month! We have something very special share with you all as our way of saying thank you. Also celebrate our 10 year anniversary. This past weekend we were invited to visit Metal Blade Records' office and take a private tour in Las Vegas.

This museum has a huge collection of awesome memorabilia ranging from Metallica, Guns N Roses, Alice Cooper, Armored Saint, and many more from their label. The tour guide shared so many wonderful stories. If you plan on stopping into the Las Vegas area, this is a great hidden gem to check out and get away from the Strip.

Congratulations to Ozzy Osbourne on a much deserved induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Thank You Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Voters & Fans for the induction. My solo career, has been a much larger part of my overall music career as a whole, so this feels more special. Not bad for a guy who was fired from his last band.

Infectious Grooves is hitting the road and here is all the gory details about the lineup and tour dates.

Warning Number One…
This Ain’t No April Fool’s joke..but you definitely won’t be laughing if you miss out on Infectious Grooves April 1st at the Byron Bay Bluesfest!

Warning Number Two…
Infectious Grooves is gonna bring a super special extra Funk and Punk and everything in between edition.

Unfortunately our brother, drummer Brooks Wakerman was not available to do this run of shows due to Avenged Sevenfold dates.

Drummer for IG is definitely not an easy gig to fill.
Starting with Stephen Perkins (Infectious Grooves) on drums, then followed with a 17 year old Josh Freese (Foo Fighters etc) and then came a 14 year old Brooks (The Teenage Drum Sensation) Wakerman, IG has always been blessed with some amazing drummers.

So Warning number Three…
IG is beyond stoked and honored to be able to have the incredible Jay Weinberg to be the driving force as he beats the funk out of the drums on this run!
“It’s an absolute honor to play with the legendary Infectious Grooves on this incredibly exciting Australian tour! Playing with some of my favorite musicians, in one of the most beautiful countries, for some of the greatest fans of heavy music in the world…I couldn’t be more thrilled to get started. See you all soon!"- Jay

Rounding out the band, on guitar will be a bit of reunion. Dave Kushner (Velvet Revolver etc) played on some of the first IG album.
He’ll be reuniting with IG for these dates also. Dave is a good friend and we are all looking forward to getting on stage and having a blast, and giving a big dose of the Infectious Grooves!

Warning number Five… (yes, we skipped warning number 4, we’ll save that for later, lol)…
Super limited dates due to everyone’s schedule. We’d love to do a massive run of dates, but it’s not possible with everyone's schedule. These are short notice, but we jumped at the opportunity to lock some dates in at this time.
So when the rest of the dates are announced, be there or be prepared to let your friends tell you what you missed out.

Needless to say, Robert Trujillo, Mike Muir and Dean Pleasants are beyond stoked to welcome Jay Weinberg and Dave Kushner in for this event (and a few more soon to be announced shows)!

This is some great insight about leaving the music industry from Henry Rollins.

Henry Rollins: “I stopped processing ideas in terms of lyrics. One day, I woke up and thought: “I’m done.” My manager flipped out, but I’ve never looked back. I didn’t want to become a human jukebox playing old songs, so I filled the space the band took with films and TV and now my shows, my radio show and writing. At this point, I wouldn’t go back on stage with a band for anything.”
