| Chad Smith’s Bombastic Meatbats Announce New Album by Peter Hodgson Red Hot Chili Peppers/Chickenfoot drummer Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats will release their second album, More Meat, on October 19. The jazz-funk fusion group, which includes Smith, guitarist Jeff Kollman, keyboardist Ed Roth and bassist Kevin Chown, released their first album, Meet the Meatbats, last year. "More Meat is just that... it has much more music on the bone, " Smith said in a press release. "We stretched out more, the playing is more tighter, and there's a more improved recorded sound, haha!" The track Shag ("The title says it all, go make some babies, " Roth said) will be added to Smooth AC radio on September 27, and the Meatbats will celebrate the week of release with a live on-air performance on the syndicated KLOS Mark & Brian Show in Los Angeles. Despite the busy schedules of the band members, the Meatbats have shows booked for Los Angeles, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Syracuse, N.Y., over the coming months. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Jazz News :: home page |
