Social Distortion brings the noise during fall tour
L.A. punk veterans Social Distortion continue to pound the pavement behind last year's "Sex, Love and Rock'n'Roll."
The group will launch a new round of U.S. shows in mid-September, and dates are set through early November. Included in the itinerary are three-night stands in Cleveland and Philadelphia, as well as an appearance at the Oct. 30 Voodoo Music Festival in New Orleans. Details are included below.
Prior to the U.S. run, the group will play a one-off set at Friday night's San Diego Street Scene, and will then head overseas for a month-long European trek that launches in early August. More information about that outing is posted at the band's website.
Released last September, "Sex, Love and Rock'n'Roll" is Social D's first album of new material since 1996's "White Light, White Heat, White Trash," and is also the group's first recording without guitarist Dennis Danell, who died of a brain aneurysm in 2000. Taking over for Danell is Jonny Wickersham.
Also new to the lineup since "White Light, White Heat, White Trash" surfaced is drummer Charlie Quintana, who replaced Chuck Biscuits in 2000.
Founding member Mike Ness still fronts the band.
Bassist John Maurer, who was with Social Distortion for 20 years, recorded "Sex, Love and Rock'n'Roll" with the group, but has since bowed out. Bassist Brent Harding, who toured with Ness during the singer's 1999 solo outing, rounds out the lineup.
