Not The Original BUSH

According to The Pulse of Radio, the latest band to reunite, BUSH, is not bringing back all its original members. Frontman Gavin Rossdale is being joined in this incarnation by guitarist Chris Traynor and bassist Corey Britz, who are replacing Nigel Pulsford and Dave Parsons, respectively.

Traynor played in the last BUSH lineup before the band went on hiatus in 2001, after Pulsford left to spend time with his family.

BUSH will perform is first live show in eight years as part of the Epicenter weekend in Fontana, September 25-26, joining EMINEM and KISS at the Golden State's inland empire venue. Also in the fall, the first new studio album in nine years from BUSH will be released on Interscope, titled "Everything Always Now". The CD was produced by Bob Rock, who also helmed Gavin's 2008 solo debut, "Wanderlust", which spawned the crossover hit single "Love Remains the Same" (and whose credits include seminal work with METALLICA, MÖTLEY CRÜE, BON JOVI, AEROSMITH, and more).

It all came full circle for BUSH when Gavin previewed "Afterlife", the first single pick from "Everything Always Now", during an interview on the Los Angeles radio station KROQ.

KROQ launched BUSH's career on the rock charts in late 1994, with the band's debut hit single, "Everything Zen", from BUSH's six-times-platinum-certified debut album "Sixteen Stone". It was the maiden voyage of the British band that emerged two years earlier from Shepherd’s Bush and went on to sell more than 16 million albums in the U.S. and Canada alone: "Razorblade Suitcase" (1996),"Deconstructed" (1997),"The Science of Things" (1999),and "Golden State" (2001). Over the same period, BUSH compiled an amazing string of 14 consecutive Top 40 hit singles on the Billboard Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts, including ten that hit the Top 5. Four of these became #1 hits that forever define the decade of the '90s: "Comedown" (1995),"Glycerine" (1995),"Swallowed" (1996) and "The Chemicals Between Us" (1999).
