The Alien Blakk – Announce Tour Dates Supporting Rob Zombie, Lit, Cypress Hill, Bad Religion in May
THE ALIEN BLAKK guitarist/songwriter/producer and session musician Joshua Craig (BLACK ART, FiNGeR) will be doing eight special acoustic duo dates opening for ROB ZOMBIE, BAD RELIGION, CYPRESS HILL, FLOTSAM and JETSAM and LIT at the end of the month. All dates will feature music from THE ALIEN BLAKK debut, “Modes Of Alienation”, which features bassist David Ellefson (ex-MEGADETH) and drummer Craig Nielsen (FLOTSAM AND JETSAM). Some dates are as follows:
May 19 – Phoenix, AZ
May 20 – Scottsdale, AZ
May 26 – Las Vegas, NV (opening for Rob Zombie)
May 27 – Las Vegas, NV (opening for Bad Religion and Flotsam And Jetsam)
May 28 – Las Vegas, NV (opening for Lit and Cypress Hill)
As previously reported, THE ALIEN BLAKK is a predominantly instrumental project that features many different facets of Joshua’s many sides and styles of unfiltered creativity. The music is described as a frenetic mix of FRANK ZAPPA meets FEAR FACTORY. The styles range from Metal, Latin-Jazz, Country, Rock, Classical then back to a wall of acoustically composed arrangements.
THE ALIEN BLAKK will also be featured on the CD/DVD-ROM accompanying this month’s issue of Guitar World magazine (which ships to stores on May 9 ). The track, entitled “The Thing”, is reportedly the longest song to ever be featured on a Guitar World CD/DVD-ROM, clocking in at 7:41. “The Thing” is described as an “extreme metal version” of STEVE VAI’s “For the Love of God” (from his acclaimed “Passion and Warfare” release).
