From the ashes of ARTIMUS PYLEDRIVER, comes the mighty BIGFOOT. Jim Hall and Micheal Faulkner have enlisted drummer Kevin Watford (ex-GONZALEZ) and second guitarist Evil Jim Wright (of ASPHALT BLASTER, SPECTREMEN, and THE EVILS) to help form the core of their new band. They then tapped Jett Bryant of the ROCK CITY DROPOUTS to be the voice. The new group will be in the studio this winter with Rachel Bolan (SKID ROW) producing.

Former SUPERJOINT RITUAL, ARTIMUS PYLEDRIVER Members Join Forces In RED RIVER REVIVAL
RED RIVER REVIVAL, the new band featuring former members of SUPERJOINT RITUAL and ARTIMUS PYLEDRIVER, has posted five songs on its MySpace page. The tracks will appear on the group's new EP, to be made available through Real Deal Merchandise (owned by Mark Morton of LAMB OF GOD).
RED RIVER REVIVAL is:
Kevin Bond (SUPERJOINT RITUAL) - Guitar
D Wayne Slocum (ARTIMUS PYLEDRIVER) - Vocals
Rev. James Atwell (MOSES JONES) - Guitar/Vocals
Dave Eidson (GATES OF BERLIN) - Drums
Avery G (THE RANCH HANDS) – Bass
In a recent interview with Nonelouder, Slocum stated about the band's sound, "RED RIVER REVIVAL is boogie rock! Lots of melody and soul, preachin' and hollerin'. Heavy blues is what I think best describes us. Kevin Bond has written some really cool stuff, very ZZ TOP. Kevin didn't write any of the SUPERJOINT stuff, so I think people will be surprised to hear what style he actually represents. James Atwell is a fantastic singer/slide player. He and I have been working very hard to make the best music possible. People are already saying that RED RIVER REVIVAL is better than ARTIMUS."
RED RIVER REVIVAL's first live performance will take place on September 20 in Marietta, Georgia.

Former ARTIMUS PYLEDRIVER Members Launch New Project
Vocalist Dave Slocum of the now-defunct Atlanta, Georgia sludge metal band ARTIMUS PYLEDRIVER has issued the following update:
"OK, yes, ARTIMUS PYLEDRIVER is done, has been for some time. Had a great run, and had some great times! Thanks to all y'all that came out to shows, let us crash, and all that hoopla. Not even gonna get into why, but the absurdity of it all would make for an interesting read.
"New things: We have a new band. Kevin Bond, who came on to the last AP tour, learned our songs in two days, and provided a much needed breath of fresh air. Kevin is a true pro, and has music in his veins. He has written some great new songs, and really taken it to the next level. Travis Owen will be doing his thing. Those of y'all that have sen him know what to expect, and lemme tell ya, he's pretty pissed off.
"James Atwell from MOSES JONES has come in and really kicked the intensity up a notch. Slide guitar, soaring vocals, and some really nice leads. I am still doing my thing, learning a lot from James, and having a great time with the new band.
"We have secured Dez Fafara's (DEVILDRIVER) Abaddon Management once again to handle all the business end.
"We need a bass player. We need someone who can tour, write. You have to be able to cut the string, mamma cannot come with you! Think AC/DC, GOV'T MULE, NAZARETH, MC5, ZZ TOP, whiskey bar room brawls.
"If you are interested send me a link to your myspace, and I will send you a track to learn. Must be able to live in Atlanta or thereabouts. MUST GET DOWN! Touring experience a plus.
"Folks, don't waste our time, y'all know what kind of person we need. We like four strings, Ampegs, Fenders, Rickenbacher, Cliff Williams, Lemmy, Cliff Burton etc.
"All that being said, we are having a great time, and look to be on the road again in the spring."
