DROWNING POOL Bassist To Guest On 'The Moshpit'

July 22, 2009

DROWNING POOL bassist Stevie Benton will be interviewed by host Mike Z. on this Saturday's (July 25) edition of "The Moshpit" show on Southern California's 96.7 KCAL FM. The rest of the country (and world) can stream the show live at www.kcalfm.com between 10:00 p.m. PT and 2:00 a.m. PT.

DROWNING POOL played a private show for the troops at Guantanamo Bay on Memorial Day, May 25. The invitation from the U.S. Navy came two years after the start of the "Soldiers" campaign.

"Any time we get the chance to play in front of the troops, it is a great honor and they're always the best crowds," said DROWNING POOL frontman Ryan McCombs. "When we got the call, we were like, 'Hell yeah, let's go rock Guantanamo Bay. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance and I don't know of many artists that get an invitation like this."

After two years of supporting "Full Circle", DROWNING POOL is now taking part in the Crüe Fest 2 tour which stars MÖTLEY CRÜE and features additional support from GODSMACK, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, and introduces CHARM CITY DEVILS.

DROWNING POOL — Ryan McCombs (vocals),CJ Pierce (guitar),Stevie Benton (bass) and Mike Luce (drums) — has overcome its fair share of adversity: tragedy, internal struggles, leaving their major record label and multiple incidents of theft over the last few years.

"Shame", the new video from DROWNING POOL, is available for viewing below.
