The Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson Unveils His New Band

After announcing that they were going on an indefinite hiatus, the Black Crowes took to the road with their “Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys” tour. This tour had them playing some of the best shows I had heard them play in 20 years. With the tour now over what lies ahead for the fans in the line of new music? Well, it looks like Chris Robinson is the first one to announce a new project.

Chris Robinson has announced that his new band will be called The Chris Robinson Brotherhood and will feature Black Crowes keyboardist Adam MacDougall and Mofro drummer George Sluppick.  Sluppic had this to say via a Mofro fansite:

Its true man and I just auditioned yesterday. They flew me out, we played and now I’m back at LAX getting ready to board my flight home to Memphis. Pretty wild 24hr ride and so much fun. Band sounded great. Kinda southern Crowes-ish meets the Dead meets Miles Davis Bitches Brew, with some Clyde Stubblefield/Levon Helm drum beats. I’m excited as hell. We have a 12-week run beginning on Mar 28th.

This sounds like it should be quite and amazing project and I cannot wait to hear this stuff.  Stay tune for more as we hear about it!  The CRB will be doing a lengthy California residency tour that will hopefully turn into a full on tour that will show the East Coast some love.  I have a feeling that these shows are going to be pure magic so catch ’em if you can!
