Junk Beer Kidnap Band info from the man himself

I just got an email from Corey Taylor on the Junk Beer Kidnap Band. Here's what he has to say on his new group:

"I had wanted to start the first stoner rock disco funk band- basically a cross between Sabbath, Prince and Zappa- so I assembled a crack squad of aloof yet courageous bastards to do so. We wrote 9 songs in that strain, but then we started jamming my solo material. Sounded great, and I was planning to do some solo shows anyway, so I asked JBKB to back me on the shows.

The members include Fred Missouri and Ryan Berrier of FaceCage, THE Thomas Doggett of One Nite Stand, Tyson Leslie from too many damn bands to count, and Nik Sorak of the Dead Wait. The music is pure Midwest rock- The Replacements, Social Distortion, Foo Fighters, ETC. It is NOT heavy metal. I'm in 2 other bands that play that. This is rock with big chords, huge choruses and a lot of melody. No plans to record yet, but I'm working on it.

Oh, and we do a cover of 'Let's Go Crazy' by Prince. That mixed with some Corey Taylor originals, a couple of Stone Sour songs and a mystery cover... should be an interesting afternoon."

So there you go. They play May 31 at Lazerfest.
