DEVILDRIVER Guitarists Schedule L.A. Clinic

DEVILDRIVER's Mike Spreitzer and Jeff Kendrick will take part in a guitar clinic this Thursday, August 25 at West LA music in Los Angeles, California. The event, which will run from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., will be streamed live through the Ustream page of AllAxess.com, the guitar-based web site web site launched by Kendrick and Spreitzer. The site focuses on instructional videos from professional guitarists and has an emphasis on learning the songs that made the guitarists well known and taught by them. The page also contains a biographical database of many of the world's well-known and not so well-known guitar players as well as blogs on the science of guitar playing and a celebrity blog focusing on celebrities discussing guitars and guitar playing.

Spreitzer was forced to sit out DEVILDRIVER's recent South American tour after suffering a seizure.

DEVILDRIVER bassist Aaron "Bubble" Patrick (ex-BURY YOUR DEAD) suffered a back injury last month but was able to recover in time to perform with the rest of the band at the Heavy T.O. and Heavy MTL festivals in Toronto, Ontario and Montreal, Quebec, Canada, respectively.

Bubble joined DEVILDRIVER as the replacement for Jonathan Miller, who quit DEVILDRIVER in March, calling it "the most difficult decision of my life" but "something that I needed to do for myself."

"Beast", the fifth album from DEVILDRIVER, sold a little over 11,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 42 on The Billboard 200 chart.
