GUNS N' ROSES bassist Tommy Stinson has posted the following update online:

“I know it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to put enough brain cells together to write a blog, but today I was able to round up just enough. So here goes…

This past weekend my good friend, Sean Beavan, finished mixing the last two songs for my new solo album. With some hard work and a little luck it will be released in August. We’ll be announcing more info, including album title and release date, very soon. I have also booked three shows in the Midwest next month:

May

19 – Milwaukee, WI - Club Garibaldi’s
20 – Minneapolis, MN - First Avenue
21 – Chicago, IL - Double Door

I’m excited to preview some of the new material at these shows, as well as to just get out and play my own stuff, from ‘Bash & Pop’ to ‘Perfect’ to ‘Village Gorilla Head’. I’ll be playing these shows with a full rock band which will feature Mike Gent from THE FIGGS, Tim Schweiger, Jon Phillip from LIMBECK, and with a little luck Emily Roberts will be joining us. There will also be some special merch at these shows - new t-shirts and silkscreened posters. I can't speak of any surprises because then they wouldn't be surprises anymore, except to say that there may be a few good ones in store. Hahaha -- how ya like them apples?

I’ll also be helping to finish the new SOUL ASYLUM record and playing some shows with them over the next few months, including dates in Chile and Peru. And if that’s not enough for all of the good folks down in South America, I am pleased to say I’ll be at Rock In Rio with G ‘N’R in October. Yippee for me!!!!!!!

It’s gonna be another busy year for me. Looking forward to seeing all of your faces out there."

As previously reported, A new track called 'One Man Mutiny' by Tommy Stinson is now available for free download on his official website.
