THE PANIC CHANNEL / CAMP FREDDY guitarist Dave Navarro has issued the following update on Camp Freddy's March 17th appearance in Miami, FL at the Bacardi B-Live event:
"The Miami trip with Camp Freddy was quick, amazing and a lot of fun. We performed in between two DJ acts, DJ AM & Travis and Paul Oakenfold. We were totally prepared for the audience to be more of the dance oriented type with plenty of yawns during the rocker set, but they were just fantastic with tons of energy and enthusiasm. It was quite a difference from the TV audiences that I am used to playing for during the SUPERNOVA shows. Highlights from the show included DISTURBED's David Draiman doing 'Man In The Box' and 'Whole Lotta Love'. Damn, can that boy sing! Loud and strong. Steve Jones joined us for 'Bodies' and also sang it. That was a blast. Doing a SEX PISTOLS song with a Sex Pistol is kind of the only way to go. Mark McGrath brought it with 'Cat Scratch Fever' and Jerry Cantrell with 'Jailbreak'. Billy Duffy joined us for 'Love Removal Machine' with Brett Scallions on the mic. It was a killer 90 minute set and after we all kind of split off into different directions into the Miami night. I hosted a party at Mansion and was joined by Jerry, followed by a stop by the new spot, Set.The rest of the night was all about texts flying around between everybody saying, 'we are here... come here... no, wait, we left there, now we are here... stop by this...' All in all I think we hit about five places joining up with Donovan, Mark, Duffy, Sorum and all. Naturally, I didn't sleep so when I got home, my nap turned into a 12 hour slumber. Now I am just about to get packing for Vegas. Four days there to do a few things with Versace and then my travel for the month is done."
