Ex-VAN HALEN Bassist Having A 'Blast' On Cinco De Mayo Weekend

May 12, 2007

Former VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony has issued the following update:

"Hey everybody!! It's been awhile since my last post, so I thought I would let you know what's been going on lately.

"Those of you who were on the Hagar cruise ship party the other month know that I put a little jam together with Vic Johnson and Dave Lauser (calling it the M.A. EXPRESS). Well, we had a blast with it and I decided to do it again, this time opening up for Sam at the Tahoe Wabo on Cinco de Mayo weekend.

"Well, Sammy decided to get sick and had to postpone the show until next month. I still wanted to go up there, so I had an idea to play anyway. I called Vic and J.D. (who has been playing percussion with Sam) and asked if they were into it. We lenghtened the set and played the cantina on May 5th (Cinco de Drink-O).

"OH MY GOD...WHAT A BLAST!! To everyone who was there... THANK-YOU!! I will be posting a writeup of the nite on my website this week with lots of pictures and our set list. We had so much fun, we will be doing it again next month when Sammy does the makeup show, except this time it will be outdoors at Harrahs in Lake Tahoe. I hope to see you all out there..."
