Puddle of Mudd splashes into summer

After wrapping up a run of shows in Australia and entertaining US troops in the Middle East, rockers Puddle of Mudd will get busy with a massive summer run.

The group's North American roadtrip gets underway July 5 in Biloxi, MS, and so far comprises about three-dozen dates that stretch through the end of August. Details are included below.

Holding down the opening slot on the run will be up-and-coming rockers Rev Theory.

Puddle of Mudd tackles a four-show swing through Austrlia over the coming week before heading to Iraq and Kuwait for a handful of early June concerts. More information about those shows is available at the group's website.

The Los Angeles-based alt-metal quartet is supporting its October release, "Famous," which reached No. 27 on The Billboard 200 and spawned the hit single "Psycho."

"'Psycho' is one of those little ditties that just pops out of nowhere," frontman Wes Scantlin said during a recent interview with LiveDaily. "When I write songs, they are either (a) really good or (b) they suck and I throw them away."


"Famous" is Puddle of Mudd's follow-up to its 2003, gold-certified sophomore set, "Life on Display."

"We had a lot of time to write and then make ['Famous'], as opposed to our second record where we were writing while we were recording," bassist Doug Ardito explained in a statement. "This time, we had time to live life and have experiences to talk about."

Puddle of Mudd was one of the first acts signed to Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst's label, Flawless Records. The band's 2001 debut, "Come Clean," sold more than 5 million copies and spawned four radio hits: "Control," "Drift & Die," "She Hates Me," and "Blurry," the latter of which was the most-played song of 2002, according to a press release.
