October 20, 2026

INFECTIOUS GROOVES, the long-running outfit formed more than three decades ago by now-METALLICA bassist Robert Trujillo alongside Robert's then-SUICIDAL TENDENCIES bandmate Mike Muir, will celebrate the 35th anniversary of its debut album, "The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move... It's The Infectious Grooves", with a special concert on November 28 at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

INFECTIOUS GROOVES' lineup for the show will include Trujillo, Muir, guitarists Dean Pleasants and Dave Kushner (ex-VELVET REVOLVER) and drummer Brooks Wackerman (AVENGED SEVENFOLD).

INFECTIOUS GROOVES announced the The Fonda Theatre concert in a social media post earlier today (Tuesday, October 20),writing: "It's a Fonda Theater deja vu! November 28th at the Fonda Theatre. INFECTIOUS GROOVES playing their entire first album to celebrate its 35th Anniversary.

"Thanks for all the people that came out to get Cyco October 1st with ST to help get the Fonda Theater 100th Anniversary off to a slamming STart.

"Now INFECTIOUS GROOVES is coming back to Funk it Up with another special anniversary show.

"35 Years ago, the first IG album, 'The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move...It's The Infectious Grooves' kicked up the hyper green funk.

"November 28th, Mike Muir, Robert Trujillo, Dean Pleasants, Brooks Wackerman and Dave Kushner are gonna play the entire first album, along with of course some other high octane jams!

"And definitely expect a surprise or two, as I.G. is gonna take the festivities to new heights, cause you know 'These Freaks are here to Party' and we hope you come along and party with us too!

"Tickets on sale this Friday 7:00 AM PST!"

INFECTIOUS GROOVES was formed soon after Trujillo joined SUICIDAL TENDENCIES in 1989. Muir and Trujillo got together with some friends to write song that centered more around the bass, but with the intent of giving everyone else a whole lot of freedom.

"SEX PISTOLS and PARLIAMENT were my two favorite bands when I was young," commented Muir. "People think they're completely different but I saw a lot of similarities, even if musically they were categorized as completely different styles. There's something beautiful about breaking rules that never should have been made."
