July 10, 2013

GODSMACK's Shannon Larkin will embark on a West Coast drum-clinic tour in August.

The clinics, which are part of Yamaha's Live Clinic Tour program, kick off on August 14 at the Guitar Center in Hollywood, California and wrap on August 20 at the Guitar Center in Seattle, Washington. The clinics are free and open to the public. However, $20 will score you VIP front row tickets to the clinic, along with a bag filled with exclusive swag.

GODSMACK frontman Sully Erna revealed in a recent interview that the band is taking most of 2013 off, according to an interview Erna. The band spent much of 2012 on the road, both with the Uproar festival tour and Mass Chaos trek, and Erna said that a break is in order. He explained to ARTISTdirect.com, "We're going to take some time away now because we just ran for the last two years. It's time for us to take a break and get away from the markets for a little bit so we don't overplay them."

Erna added, "Maybe towards the end of the year or early 2014, we may start getting into the studio and writing. Now, we're going to lay low. We may pop up once in a while to do a radio festival or something."

GODSMACK's last studio effort, "The Oracle", came out in 2010. The group issued its first concert album, "Live & Inspired", last year.
