Social Distortion returns to the road early next year
Social Distortion , which this fall released its first new album in eight years, will continue to support the set with more tour dates in early 2005.
The group has lined up a month-long tour of the U.S. that kicks off in Las Vegas on Feb. 3. The itinerary also includes a one-off Canadian date. Details are shown below.
The run backs Social D's September release, "Sex, Love and Rock'n'Roll." The set is the group's first album of new material since 1996's "White Light, White Heat, White Trash," and is also the group's first recording without guitarist Dennis Danell, who died of a brain aneurysm in 2000. Taking over for Danell is Jonny Wickersham.
Also new to the lineup since "White Light, White Heat, White Trash" surfaced is drummer Charlie Quintana, who replaced Chuck Biscuits in 2000. Founding member Mike Ness still fronts the group.
Bassist John Maurer, who was with Social Distortion for 20 years, recorded "Sex, Love and Rock'n'Roll" with the group, but has since bowed out.
The group has tapped Rancid bassist Matt Freeman to take over for Maurer.
