BOMBASTIC MEATBATS Taps MATT SORUM For Japan Music Fair Appearance - Nov. 5, 2009

Los Angeles all-star band CHAD SMITH'S BOMBASTIC MEATBATS, featuring guitarist Jeff Kollman (COSMOSQUAD, GLENN HUGHES), bassist Kevin Chown (UNCLE CRACKER, TED NUGENT), and keyboardist Ed Roth (GLENN HUGHES, RONNIE MONTROSE), has tapped Matt Sorum (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES) to take over drum duties from Chad Smith for their exclusive appearance at the Gakki Fair in Yokohama, Japan on November 7.

The MEATBATS recently concluded a successful tour of Japan with special guest Kenny Aronoff (JOHN FOGERTY, IOMMI) on drums filling in for co-founder Chad Smith (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, CHICKENFOOT). Several band shots and Tokyo live footage of "Pig Feet" with Aronoff can be viewed at this location; rehearsal footage of "Bread Balls" is available below.

CHAD SMITH'S BOMBASTIC MEATBATS' debut album, "Meet The Meatbats", was released on September 15 via Warrior Records/Universal in North America and October 12 through Edel/earMUSIC in Europe.

	The only guy whose name appears in the name of the band can't make it to any of the band's appearances? It's looking like between RHCPs, Chickenfoot and this project that Chad has stretched himself a little too thin. Note to Chad... hurry up and finish the RHCP album/tour so you can get back in the studio with the mighty foot. Let Sorum take over meatbats entirely.
