Mastodon, Dillinger Escape Plan, Mars Volta and Jane’s Addiction members form new group
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 15 June 2011
Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds has revealed that he has formed a new band with Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman, former Mars Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen and ex-Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery. Which is exciting.
Of course, the problem is time. Hinds in particular is currently working on the latest album from his main band. He told Noisecreep: “We tried to get together and do an album, but there’s been no time. We want to record crazy stuff and Ben is working on that, but it’s been hard to get together”.
He added that he’s hoping to convince his new bandmates to call the band Giraffe Tongue, because in his opinion giraffe tongues “look sick”. I fed the giraffes at Colchester Zoo once, so I can confirm that he is correct.
