Slipknot will do an intimate first show with their new drummer on Thursday night, April 25, at a small venue called Pappy + Harriet’s in Pioneertown, California. The 350 capacity club, is located near Joshua Tree National Park.
The $9 tickets sold out quickly when announced on Tuesday (4-23). All proceeds go to Joshua Tree No Kill Shelter and BOYS & GIRLS CLUB of the Hi Desert. Pappy + Harriet’s will also match Slipknot’s donation up to $5,000.
There’s been a whirl of rumors about the band’s new members and late last week, Slipknot launched a website, YouCantKillMe.com, which contains lots of teasers. The site seems to say that the new drummer is Eloy Casagrande, formerly of Sepultura… and that Craig Jones‘ replacement is someone named Jeff.
