SKINLAB Rejoined By Guitarist MIKE ROBERTS

May 12, 2010

San Francisco Bay Area metallers SKINLAB have parted ways with guitarist Brian Jackson (of the Las Vegas band KREEP) and have been rejoined by Mike Roberts.

Commented bassist/vocalist Steev Esquivel: "Mike . . has been hard at work learning new material as well as some oldies that we haven't busted out since Mike's departure in '98.

"Needless to say we are all totally stoked to have Mike back. He was such a huge part of the SKINLAB sound and is sure to re-establish is style again as we start writing for the next SKINLAB album this summer.

"As far as touring plans, we have select shows that we've been putting together in the U.S., a couple festivals in Europe this summer and will be heading over to South America for a few shows as well.

"Since Mike's return the last few weeks we have gotten tons of support from our friends and peers; everyone seems as excited as us.

"Who knows what the future holds?! We'll see!!!"

Upcoming SKINLAB shows:

May 12 - Modesto, CA - Fat Cat (w/ FLAW)
May 13 - Santa Clara, CA - The Avalon
May 15 - Pomona, CA - The Fox Theatre (California Metalfest)

SKINLAB was forced to cancel its "Sons of a Sikworld Tour" with MOWER last fall after Steev Esquivel was diagnosed with "a severe lung infection" before the band's October 3, 2009 concert in Herkimer, New York.

SKINLAB's latest album, "The Scars Between Us", was issued on September 15, 2009 via Stand And Deliver Records.
