Static-X have announced details of the UK leg of their ‘Wisconsin Death Trip 20th Anniversary’ tour this Autumn, which will also serve as a memorial tribute to late vocalist Wayne Static.
“Our intention is to pay ultimate respect to Wayne and to celebrate the music that has been in all of our hearts for more than 20 years,” says bassist Tony Campos.
“It’s all about channelling the vibe from 1999 to the best of our ability and playing those classic Static-X songs live and loud.”
“Rehearsals have been awesome,” adds guitarist Koichi Fukuda. “The music and the vocals are sounding really great! I feel like Wayne would be proud.”
“We understand that people are naturally going to want to know more about who is singing,” says drummer Ken Jay.
“We have discussed this at great length and we came to the conclusion that at this time, it would be inappropriate for us to put the focus on anyone other than Wayne, Tony, Koichi and myself. It feels like the best way for us to celebrate Wayne’s legacy, along with the 20th anniversary of Wisconsin Death Trip, with all of our fans.”
