SEBASTIAN BACH Taps Bassist KEVIN CHOWN For Upcoming Tour

Former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach has announced the addition of bassist Kevin Chown to his solo band. Bach says: "Joining 'Give 'Em Hell' guitar player/songwriter Devin Bronson, along with my long-standing drummer Bobby Jarzombek, the addition of Kevin on bass is an exciting musical turn for the band.

"Known for his bass work with CHAD SMITH'S BOMBASTIC MEATBATS, Tarja Turunen from NIGHTWISH, and Tony McAlpine, Bobby Jarzombek heavily recommended Kevin for the bass spot and I am very glad he did.

"The band is going to be musically more progressive and heavy sounding.

"We begin our 'Youth Gone Wild West Tour' on April 16 in San Juan Capistrano, California and we also have a ton of shows to be announced for this summer

"Bobby, Devin and myself are very excited to raise the progressive rock bar with Kevin on bass. He plays perfectly and also sings like a bird, which is a real bonus these days!

"We will see you soon, California, Nevada and Arizona! It's time to get wild in the Wild West! Let's rock!!!!!"

Bach's latest album, "Give 'Em Hell", sold around 4,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 72 on The Billboard 200 chart. Released on April 22, 2014 via Frontiers Records, the follow-up to 2011's "Kicking & Screaming" was once again produced by Bob Marlette, who has previously worked with ROB ZOMBIE, BLACK SABBATH and SHINEDOWN, among others.
