Some people can’t catch a break! Former RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and AUDIOSLAVE drummer BRAD WILK has just been a part of something special. He recorded the drums on BLACK SABBATH’S new album “13,” which has hit #1 on the charts in the UK, a first for the band in over 40 years! Seems like he’d be flying high, but alas, no. His wife, SELENE VIGIL-WILK has filed for divorce! She’s seeking joint custody and child support, and with the recent album success, I’m sure he can afford it, but I still feel bad for the guy. If Selene’s name sounds familiar, you may recognize her as the singer of all-girl punk band 7 YEAR BITCH…. JOHN MOYER, the bassist and back-up vocalist for DISTURBED is lending his musical talent to a good cause. He has formed a super-group of musicians along with BLAZE BAYLEY (Iron Maiden), JAMES KOTTAK (Scorpions) and others. Calling themselves THE FOUNDRY, they’ll play a small string of shows in Texas and Oklahoma to raise money for victims of the Oklahoma tornadoes. The dates are:
June 20 – Austin, TX – Crown Events Center
June 21 – Oklahoma City, OK – The Chameleon Room
June 22 – Austin, TX – Anderson Mill Tavern
June 23 – New Braunfels, TX – Happy Cow Bar & Grill
If you’re in the area, go check ’em out and support a great cause!….
