January 28, 2009

RealTVFilms.com conducted an interview with drummer Matt Sorum (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES) prior to CAMP FREDDY's January 19, 2009 performance at the Sundance Film Festival at Harry O's in Park City, Utah. Watch the chat at this location.

CAMP FREDDY is the Los Angeles-based "jam" band featuring Sorum, Dave Navarro (ex-JANE'S ADDICTION, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS),Billy Morrison (ex-THE CULT bassist, current CIRCUS DIABLO vocalist),Donovan Leitch (son of legendary folk singer Donovan),and Chris Chaney (JANE'S ADDICTION, ALANIS MORRISETTE). (Note: Navarro did not perform with CAMP FREDDY at the Sundance Film Festival due to "previous commitments.")

Guest musicians who performed with CAMP FREDDY in Park City included Mark McGrath (SUGAR RAY),Billy Duffy (THE CULT),Corey Taylor (SLIPKNOT),Steve Stevens (BILLY IDOL),Shaun White (pro snowboarder/skateboarder) and Billy Gibbons (ZZ TOP).

According to The Salt Lake Tribune, some of the highlights of the January 19 show were as follows:

* Gibbons and the band launching into a heavy version of JIMI HENDRIX's "Foxy Lady" that initially sounded like they were going to cover "Nookie"
* Stevens playing the guitar behind his head during two IDOL songs, "Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding"
* McGrath doing his best Johnny Rotten impression when singing the SEX PISTOLS' "EMI"
* The band dedicating a cover of THE CARS' "Just What I Needed" to Barack Obama
* Taylor screaming a manic version of MOTÖRHEAD's "Ace of Spades", and then remarking, "I just had a fucking aneurysm"
* McGrath saying Robert Redford requested the band play TED NUGENT, so they played "Cat Scratch Fever"
* The entire band closing with THE STOOGES' "I Wanna Be Your Dog"
