STATIC-X Frontman To Guest On 'The Moshpit'

August 27, 2009

Guitarist/vocalist Wayne Static of Los Angeles metallers STATIC-X will be interviewed on this Saturday's (August 29) edition of "The Moshpit" show on Southern California's 96.7 KCAL FM. Host Mike Z. will probe Wayne about Static's early days playing with SMASHING PUMPKINS singer/guitarist Billy Corgan; Wayne's transition to Los Angeles and his fateful meeting with bassist Tony Campos; the band's original moniker and how it evolved into what it is now; and the unforgettable night when Wayne jammed out with Tommy Lee on STATIC-X's cover of MÖTLEY CRÜE's "Looks That Kill".

The rest of the country (and world) can stream the show live at www.kcalfm.com between 10:00 p.m. PT and 2:00 a.m. PT.

STATIC-X is recording most of its live performances on the Pedal To The Metal tour and making them available to fans on a USB wristband for purchase at the STATIC-X merch booth right after the show. The USB sticks not only feature the night's performance audio but also a variety of exclusive bonus material put together by the band especially for their fans, such as a personal message to fans in the city of the show, a brand new picture gallery, several "Behind The Scenes – The Making of The Cult Of Static" video clips and links to related web sites.

"Cult of Static", the new album from STATIC-X, sold 19,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 16 on The Billboard 200 chart.

STATIC-X's previous CD, "Cannibal", opened with more than 30,000 copies back in April 2007 to land at No. 36. This represented a slight drop from the 35,000 tally registered by the band's "Start a War" album, which came out in June 2005 and debuted at No. 29.

As previously reported, STATIC-X has tapped drummer Will Hunt (EVANESCENCE, DARK NEW DAY, ex-SKRAPE, TOMMY LEE) to fill in for Nick Oshiro on the group's current tour. Hunt also appears in STATIC-X's new video for the song "Stingwray".

Oshiro is reportedly "taking a break" from STATIC-X, but has not officially left the band.
