VAN HALEN Bassist ANTHONY Promises A Few Surprises On THE OTHER HALF Tour

May 4, 2006

VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony has uploaded a "mini photo gallery" from the rehearsal sessions of his THE OTHER HALF project as they rehearse for their upcoming summer tour. The band's lineup is completed by Sammy Hagar, Vic Johnson (guitar) and David Lauser (drums). Check out the pictures here.

In other news, Anthony has launched his own blog at this location. A May 3 entry from Michael reads as follows:

"Hi kids, what the %&*@$! is up? This is the first post to my new blog (what the hell does blog mean anyway?) What a great time being down at the Cabo Wabo for Sammy's 'Are We Having Any Fun Yet?' boat cruise bash. The WABOS were on fire and THE OTHER HALF was officially in the house!

"I'm in the San Fran area and we just wrapped up rehearsals for THE OTHER HALF tour. Everybody is smokin' and the set list is on fire! Vic and Bro are kicking ass!!! I'm excited as hell for the first show in Lake Tahoe. We've got a few surprises in store — some songs we haven't played in quite some time and I'm really looking forward to rockin' with all of our fans this summer.

"It feels like such a long time since the last VAN HALEN tour ended. Sammy and I can't wait to get out there again and party with each and every one of you crazy mofos!!!!!

"I hope you'll check in with me and my blog regularly as I'll be posting often about what's happening on and off stage throughout the summer tour."
