LA-based CAMP FREDDY - featuring guitarists Dave Navarro (JANES ADDICTION), Billy Morrison (BILLY IDOL), drummer Matt Sorum (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES), vocalist Donovan Leitch, bassist Chris Chaney, and a rotating line-up of guest musicians at any given show - have checked in with the following update:
"Weeks three and four of the Camp Freddy Roxy residency closed out 2011 for the band in style. On week three, Billy Gibbons from ZZ TOP blew everyone away with versions of JIMI HENDRIX's 'Foxy Lady' and his own 'Sharp Dressed Man'. Also in the line up that night were 'Guns N' Roses' drummer Steven Adler, DEFTONES frontman Chino Moreno and THE CULT guitarist Billy Duffy, amongst others. Billy Gibbons celebrated his birthday onstage with the band and received a birthday cake and a rousing version of 'Happy Birthday' from the sold out crowd. The following week was another birthday celebration - this time for MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy, who closed the show with the SEX PISTOLS' 'God Save The Queen' and his own classic, 'Ace Of Spades'. Billy Gibbons also returned that night, along with Corey Taylor from SLIPKNOT, Scott Ian from ANTHRAX, Steve Stevens, actor Dominic Monaghan and Mark McGrath (SUGAR RAY).
Thank you to everyone for another successful residency and another great year. Here's to 2012 and our 10th Anniversary!"
