January 14, 2008 - Acclaimed guitarist/producer Jeff Kollman (GLENN HUGHES, MOGG/WAY) has lined up a number of performances at this year's NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. Kollman is teaming up with bassist Christopher Maloney and drummer Glen Sobel (in place of Shane Gaalaas) to play a set of COSMOSQUAD tunes at the Fender Frontline stage on Thursday, January 17th (2:00 p.m.) and Friday, January 18th (5:00 p.m.), respectively. In addition, Jeff will unveil his as-of-yet unnamed new band with the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS' Chad Smith (dr), Kevin Chown (bs), and Ed Roth (keys); showtime will be 5:30 p.m. on Friday, January 18th immediately following COSMOSQUAD at Fender. Later that night, Kollman and Smith will be funking it up with the one and only Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE,TRAPEZE) at the annual Sabian party at the Sheraton Hotel.
In related news, Kollman is finishing up work on the first ever COSMOSQUAD live DVD, filmed at the band's recent Musician's Institute gig in Hollywood, CA. The group will also be heading off to Japan for a series of shows in mid-March before drummer Shane Gaalaas continues his road stint with Japanese superstars B'z who are celebrating their 20-year band anniversary with an extended tour.
Jeff Kollman, Chad Smith, Ed Roth, and Kevin Chown live on the Fender Frontline stage at NAMM 2008 in Anaheim, California, January 18th. This was their live debut performance, the band with no name (so far!) will release their debut album very soon.
It was a great thrill to share our Cosmosquad music with such an appreciative audience. It been 10 years coming. I look forward to playing for the fans next month and many new friends to see again. This new band 'The Bombastic meatbats' is really fun and funky. I think you'll enjoy it. Stay inspired!, Jeff Kollman
"I have had the honor of using the Ex Pro Prototype overdrive for the Chad Smith/Bombastic Meatbats show in Tokyo. The pedal is the warmest, most musical sounding overdrive that I've ever heard. I can't wait to get my hands on one!!!"
Jeff heads to China for over a week in early October for some clinics sponsored by Fender. He will do 4 clinics in all, along with some booth/stage time at "Music Fair" in Shanghai. Be sure and check the Tour page for details.
