October 27, 2007

MASTODON's appearance at Vegoose festival in Las Vegas will be webcast in the AT&T blue room today (Saturday, October 27) beginning at 3:00 p.m. PST. The concert will also be available as an archived performance after it has aired live. MASTODON is also scheduled to open for the QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE on Monday, October 29 in Los Angeles.

In other news, MASTODON will be featured with NHL Atlanta Thrashers Exelby and Popovic on "Inside the NHL" on Thursday, November 1 at 6:30 p.m. on HDNet. It will re-air a number of times on HDNet as well as NHL network in U.S. and Canada and NHL.com.

While at the MTV Video Music Awards in early September, MASTODON told MTV News that they wrote their best song ever — even though it's not quite finished yet — while on the way to the big show. "It's pretty much the best record we've yet to write," guitarist Bill Kelliher said before singing a couple of the riffs with fellow guitarist Brent Hinds. "That's how it goes — du-duh-du-duh na-nah-nah. We wrote it in the car on the way over here, at least the intro of it. Part one. We're at the really beginning stages. It's going to be awesome, though. Everything we do is amazing."

MASTODON singer/guitarist Brent Hinds was jumped following the band's performance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. Police claim Hinds was attacked outside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on September 10 during an encounter with SYSTEM OF A DOWN bassist Shavo Odadjian and his friend William Hudson. According to police, Hudson assaulted Hinds, and Odadjian witnessed the incident.
