Jason Newsted Recruits Mike Mushok For Upcoming Album & Tour

Legendary bassist and six-time Grammy-Award winner, Jason Newsted has announced Mike Mushok of Staind has joined his powerhouse band, Newsted.  Following the release of Newsted’s explosive EP, Metal – which debuted #1 on the iTunes metal chart, Mushok, guitarist Jessie Farnsworth and drummer, Jesus Mendez Jr. are currently pounding away at Jason’s Chophouse Studios in Northern California, putting the final touches on a full- length album to be released early this summer.

“It was obvious from the word go that Mike is one of us,” says Jason. “Professional, focused, happy and grateful to be able to make our beautiful noise together!”

“I loved the old school vibe of the Metal EP, and when we got together to jam it really felt great,” adds Mushok. “Staind is taking a break for a while, so when Jason asked if I was interested in joining them to record an album and play on the upcoming tour, it was perfect timing. All I could say was, Hell yeah! I’m totally down for this.”

Newsted will be hitting the road this summer, playing several European dates (listed below) including The Download Festival in Donington Park, UK on June 16th.  More dates to be announced soon. Check out www.newstedheavymetal for the latest news and tour updates.

“I’m feeling strong and can’t wait to bring our heavy music to the people again,” says Jason. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had the opportunity to unleash on the world’s metal fans!”

UPROAR's combination of talented and on brand artists, custom promotion across multiple media channels, and a powerhouse team of experts dedicated to the success of our program, makes this the first of what we hope will be many future ventures together.

 

Jägermeister: Check out the Jägermeister Stage with performances from Fozzy, Candlelight Red and more. Jägermeister, which translates to "master hunter," is one of the top shot brands in the world and sold in more than 80 countries worldwide. The liqueur is based on a secret recipe of 56 herbs, blossoms, roots and fruits from around the world. Jägermeister, with the distinctive square bottle, was developed in 1934 in Germany.

In addition to hand crafting high-end Music Man® guitars and basses, Ernie Ball Inc. offers state-of-the-art instrument accessories that are carried in more than 6,000 stores in the U.S. and 120 countries worldwide.

The company also fosters artist development through musician-focused programs such as the Golden Pick promotion featuring Slash and Eric Clapton, and the world's largest and longest running Battle of the Bands, where unsigned bands compete each year for the chance to play on multiple tours and win tons of prizes.

truth:  truth is not anti-smoker or even anti-smoking. It’s anti-the tobacco industry manipulating their products, research and advertising to secure replacements for the 1,200 customers they “lose” every day in America. You know, because they die. truth is teaming up with the Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival to bring its distinctive orange “truth truck” and dynamic truth tour riders to tour stops across the country. Trucks are rigged with a DJ booth and sound system, a dance floor, a lounge area and more, in order to help tour riders share information about tobacco products, and give teens the knowledge needed to make informed choices about smoking.

 

Zippo:  Zippo is proud to be a part of the 2012 Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival! Zippo will give fans onsite a special code that is good for exclusive free music downloads at ZippoEncore.com and a free t-shirt with purchase!

Air Force Reserve:  President Harry Truman called for the formation of the Air Force Reserve in 1948, just a year after the United States Air Force was formed. Originally, the Reserve was conceived as a "stand by" force for emergencies. But in February 1997, the Air Force Reserve changed from a Field Operating Agency to a Major Command (MAJCOM). Since then, the over 71,000-member force has evolved into the Air Force's Wingman, performing the same missions and working side-by-side on the same equipment. The Air Force Reserve is an exciting, vibrant part of the nation's defense. It offers similar benefits afforded to those on active duty, with one major addition: the benefit of time. Time to be with your family, time to work at your civilian career, and time to serve your country. An ideal option for those who have never been in the military and want to participate without being on full-time active duty, the Reserve is also a great way for those in other branches of the military to continue their benefits. Those include educational and retirement programs; starting their civilian careers with the stability of a second paycheck; and continuing the camaraderie and adventure only available through the service. For more information on the Air Force Reserve go to www.afreserve.com or call 1-800-257-1212.

 

Air National Guard:  Experience the pride of serving your community and your country, serving part-time in the Air National Guard. For more information, visit the Air National Guard at GoANG.com or call 1-800-TO-GO-ANG.

 

Lunarpages: Rocking the internet since 1998, Lunarpages has served over 150K customers worldwide! We offer services that range from domain name registration, personal hosting packages all the way to fully managed enterprise solutions. Some of our customers include Wilwood Brakes, Stetson, The Smithsonian, Hinder, Premiere Motorsports Group, Bon Jovi, The Adam Carolla Show, NASCAR driver Carle Edwards and SGE Entertainment. Sign up now to receive 50% off and start your rockin' website! http://www.lunarpages.com/uproar

 

Hands That Rock:  Stage Hands Massage Therapy, founded by Darcy Lynch and Cindy Gottfried, has started a non-profit subsidiary, "The Hands That Rock," whose mission is to develop programs concerned with music education, performance, related resources and outreach for individuals and groups in need. It will additionally address community initiatives associated with such outreach programs and groups to include environmental, social and health-related concerns to help create a suitable environment for the creation and performance of music.

I'm going to do my best to get out and watch those bands.” He continued, “When you look at the amount of bands on the festival and what styles they bring, it's actually a really eclectic tour. There are a lot of peaks and valleys. It's a good roller coaster ride.”

Godsmack is blowing audiences away with their explosive live performances, packed with hits spanning the band’s 13 year legacy, including songs from their current Live & Inspired release.
