MUDVAYNE Bassist Interviewed On Kalamazoo's 'The Big Dumb Radio Show'

August 5, 2009

On Tuesday, August 4, Kevin "Taz" Conklin of "The Big Dumb Radio Show" (web site),which airs on Kalamazoo, Michigan's 92.5 WZUU FM radio station, conducted an interview with Ryan Martinie of MUDVAYNE. The seven-minute chat is now available for streaming below.

MUDVAYNE's fourth studio album, "The New Game", has sold 212,000 copies in the United States since its November 18 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD shifted 48,000 units in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 15 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"The New Game" followed an extended period in which MUDVAYNE recorded two full albums of new material, while singer Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett also went off to record and tour with the band HELLYEAH. But Gray told The Pulse of Radio that all the hard work paid off in MUDVAYNE's most mature album yet. "I really think that your music kind of comes from where you're at, you know, in life, and I think that, you know, every record we learn a little more about each other," he said. "It's not easier to write songs for us, but it is easier to write songs for us. We understand each other better. Where it used to take us a lot longer to kind of figure it out, we're a little quicker now to be able to kind of realize the direction that we're going in."

The Pedal To The Metal Tour 2009, featuring MUDVAYNE and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, kicked off July 24 in Portland, Maine and will conclude September 9, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Joining the two metal juggernauts on the road are STATIC-X, SUICIDE SILENCE, BURY YOUR DEAD, and the extremely twisted HELLZAPOPPIN sideshow review, performing during set changes throughout the evening.
