F5 To Headline Tempe's RAGE BRIGADE Music Festival

April 9, 2008

F5 the Phoenix-based band featuring former MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson, ex-SICK SPEED vocalist Dale Steele, guitarists Steve Conley and John Davis, and ex-MEGADETH drummer Jimmy DeGrasso will headline the first Rage Brigade music festival on Saturday, April 19 at Club Red in Tempe, Arizona. The event will be host to 15 bands performing on two separate stages.

F5 has completed work on its sophomore album, "The Reckoning", due later in the year through OarFin Distribution. The follow-up to 2005's "A Drug for All Seasons" was produced by Ryan Greene at his Crush Recording facility in Scottsdale, Arizona.

F5 called in Ellefson's longtime rhythm section cohort Jimmy DeGrasso to play drums on the album following the recent departure of original F5 drummer Dave Small.

"This looks to be a very musically invigorating record", Ellefson previously said. "No doubt there will be hints of F5's past sound on the disc but these new songs are definitely developing in a much more progressive direction."

"A Drug for all Seasons" was released in North America in September 2005 via Cleopatra Records. The original version of "A Drug for all Seasons" is also available in Asia on JVC Victor Entertainment and in Europe on Mascot Records.

LateNightSinners.com conducted an interview with David Ellefson during this year's winter NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) show, which was held January 17-20 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Watch the 10-minute clip below.
