Former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy had some big news for fans last night. His new group is hitting the road next month with Godsmack. Here is what Mike had to say along with the dates: Adrenaline Mob - featuring vocalist Russell Allen (Symphony X), drummer Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater / Avenged Sevenfold), guitarists Mike Orlando (Sonic Stomp) & Rich Ward (Fozzy, Stuck Mojo) and bassist Paul DiLeo, have been confirmed as one of the support acts for Godsmack on their post-Mayhem headlining run throughout North America in August
Mike Portnoy: "I'd like to personally thank Sully and everyone in the Godsmack camp for offering The Mob these dates without our album even being out yet! It shows a tremendous amount of BALLS as well as faith in the music and live energy of Adrenaline Mob to do that and they will forever be held as seriously cool MF's in my book for that! Good karma pays itself back elevenfold!"
In addition to the Godsmack dates, Adrenaline Mob will be doing several exclusive small club shows throughout the run to give fans an intimate live preview of the band...dates TBA
To coincide with the tour, Adrenaline Mob will release a 4-song EP in August and plan on releasing their full length debut album at the start of 2012.
