CHRIS CORNELL Schedules Hollywood Gig

April 21, 2010

Chris Cornell (SOUNDGARDEN, AUDIOSLAVE) will play the third concert in his "Songbook Series" at The Roxy in Hollywood, California on Sunday, May 2 at 9:00 p.m. This special intimate solo set will include songs from throughout his career, offering a fresh and alternative way to hear Chris perform.

The show will go on sale on Thursday, April 22 at 10.30 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster.

Recordings of every song that SOUNDGARDEN performed last Friday (April 16) at its first gig in 13 years have now surfaced online. The surprise 18-song show at Seattle's Showbox at the Market was described to the 1,000-person hometown crowd as a "rehearsal" by Cornell, with the band not scheduled to officially perform live until its headlining appearance at Chicago's Lollapalooza festival in early August. There's no word yet on whether more dates will pop up before then.

The 18-song set kicked off with "Spoonman" and ended with a version of THE DOORS' "Waiting for the Sun".

The reunited quartet dug deep into its catalog, favoring tracks from its 1989 album "Louder Than Love" and 1991's "Badmotorfinger", while leaving out its biggest single, "Black Hole Sun".

Tickets for the secret show, which was billed as "NUDEDRAGONS," sold out within 15 minutes, according to local reports.

Cornell recorded three albums with AUDIOSLAVE and three records on his own since SOUNDGARDEN disbanded, but his last solo effort, 2009's "Scream", was blasted by critics and fans for its urban pop production and bombed saleswise.

The other two members of the band, guitarist Kim Thayil and bassist Ben Shepherd, have kept lower profiles, although they and Cameron jammed together last year at a Seattle club.
