New SUICIDAL TENDENCIES Album Due In September

February 12, 2008

Tim Cashmere of Undercover News recently conducted an interview with SUICIDAL TENDENCIES/INFECTIOUS GROOVES frontman Mike Muir. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:

On what is currently going on with SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and INFECTIOUS GROOVES:

"With SUICIDAL it's been a year since we did a record, and there has been a couple of things. I had back surgery, then I had another back surgery, so last year SUICIDAL was on the Soundwave Festival in February and that's when we started touring again and that's where Infectious is starting.

"SUICIDAL goes to Argentina next week and does a couple of festivals, so we do that then INFECTIOUS comes to Australia and does the Soundwave festival, then in April we do a month in Europe, then June and July we do another month and a half with INFECTIOUS GROOVES, then about September the next SUICIDAL comes out then before that we put out a CD that is basically a compilation of all the stuff that's gonna be coming out."

On the upcoming INFECTIOUS GROOVES album:

"We've been doing stuff over the years. We have our ProTools studios like everybody else, so we've been working on stuff for a long time. We got about eight records that are 80-90% done that will probably come out and we've got about twelve that will never come out."

"When we did the record, we didn't want to do one that sounded like it was a follow up from eighteen, twenty years ago. We wanted to do a record that twenty years from now people will go 'Wow, that's pretty cool,' there are ones that are way way out there that I'm pretty excited about. There is all kind of different types of music.

"If you're a bass player, you listen to what Steve's doing, you can practice all you want or you decide that you're not a bass player anymore. I think that's what the whole record is. The people who see us live, the people who consider themselves drummers are gonna watch Eric and go 'Wow, I don't think I'm ever going to play like that, and I think that's great.'"
