BIOHAZARD Frontman Schedules THE SPYDERZ Dates

March 11, 2008

THE SPYDERZ, the new band led by BIOHAZARD frontman Evan Seinfeld, has scheduled the following dates:

Mar. 13 - Snitch New York City, New York
Mar. 14 - Phoenix Hill Tavern, Louisville, Kentucky
Mar. 15 - The Pearl Room, Mokena, Illinois
Mar. 16 - Peadbody's, Cleveland, Ohio
Apr. 11 - House of Blues, Las Vegas, Nevada

For all the critical raves about the music, Evan is just as excited about THE SPYDERZ' over-the-top live presentation which includes hot modern go-go dancers doing their thing, spinning on poles behind him as the band jams. Several times, Evan's wife, adult film star Tera Patrick, has made impromptu appearances onstage, dancing in lingerie from her newly launched Mistress Couture line.

"There's this huge void in the music scene today," Evan says, "all these boring alternative and emo rock bands with no sexual feelings in their music, just dudes wearing ugly clothes from Hot Topic. Back in the day, GUNS N' ROSES and MÖTLEY CRÜE were all about hot chicks, but for some reason now it's become taboo. All the fun stuff is in the hip-hop world. With THE SPYDERZ, I want to get things back to normal while also finding new ways to express myself musically. We're all about all the things I love: the sexuality of beautiful women, freedom, motorcycles, choppers, hot rods and muscle cars. This is fun music for guys who like sex and rock and roll. I've directed some of Tera's recent films and I'm excited about shooting a video for THE SPYDERZ now. It's the the best of both worlds."

A much-needed infusion of musical sexuality is not the only thing Evan's bringing back in 2008. He's also excited about celebrating the 20th anniversary of his original band BIOHAZARD, which earned global acclaim, multi-platinum sales and years of world tours — to the tune of 250 concerts annually — opening for superstars (DAVID BOWIE, RHCP, KISS, OZZY, BLACK SABBATH, etc) with its intense fusion of aggressive hardcore, punk and thrash metal, socio-political commentary and authentic hip-hop textures. Though BIOHAZARD enjoyed a 15-year-run of best selling albums on labels like Roadrunner, Mercury and Warner Bros., this spring's high profile tour will mark the first dates featuring the Brooklyn-bred band's original lineup since 1995.

In April, 20 years to the day that BIOHAZARD recorded its first demo, the reunited band launches six sold out arena shows Down Under, opening for KORN in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland, New Zealand. After a show May 17 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, they're scheduled for a slate of shows in the New York Tri-State area in June, major festivals in Amsterdam and Germany in July and major shows in August and September all across Europe.

"Here's the major difference between BIOHAZARD and THE SPYDERZ," Evan says. "BIOHAZARD was my brainchild when I was in Brooklyn, running around with hooligans, a troubled kid growing up around traumatic social happenings like race riots, gangland murders and drugs. I was in a dark place mentally and emotionally when I started the band, and the hardcore music was a positive release for all my negative energy. The songs were very socially active and political. We sang about huge issues like government conspiracy, racism and class structure. THE SPYDERZ is a big departure from that vibe that draws on my first love, classic rock, bands like THE DOORS, STONES, KISS, ZEPPELIN, BEATLES and HENDRIX. BIOHAZARD was really hard while THE SPYDERZ' music feels heavy emotionally but is still melodic. I always wanted to just sing radio ready songs people could sing along with, so the new group is really satisfying a huge piece of creativity for me."
