Veteran alt-rock band Alien Ant Farm will hold a special live event for audiences next month.

The band will host a live streaming performance at 10 p.m. EDT July 11 at the Whisky A Go Go.  Audiences will get to watch the live performance from the comfort of their own homes (and smart phones). The concert is sponsored by Revolver magazine and Inked.

Tickets for the streaming event are $10.  Tickets are available here.

Guitarist Terry Corso talked about the upcoming concert in a recent interview.

“We live in this wait-and-watch world at the moment,” said Corso.  “So I think this online performance at the world famous Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood is going to be an experiment in what could be the new norm. Everyone is having to get creative and outside the box as far as facilitating material to fans. I think this is a pretty intriguing situation, and I’m excited at the notion of playing one show that people all over the planet can participate in.”

In other news, Alien Ant Farm recently signed a new record deal with Megafoce Records.  The band will release its next album (its sixth) through the label later this year.  Its release date will be announced in the days to come.

Corso also addressed that item.

“Next for the band is working with our new label partner Megaforce Records to get this new record out ASAP,” he said. “Getting back on the road would be great. Maybe even keep developing our drink line with Packinghouse Brewing Co. We’ve been trying to write music during the lockdown. Suddenly, everything now is about video, so there’s a lot of that going on… front yard golfing, home projects, keeping loved ones safe and trying not to go crazier than we already are, etc.”

Drummer Robb Rivera echoed Soriano’s sentiments in his comments. “We are excited to get not only THE worldwide label of labels to release our album outside of the US, but to be part of a family now that has pretty much set the bar for metal releases for 30 plus years,” he said. “Needless to say , extremely excited to be able to get our music to the fans outside of the US through the team that helped launch Metallica.”

 
Nonpoint’s next album is currently slated to drop this Fall. Metal Blade Records rep Brian Slagel hinted at what fans can expect from the new album, stating, “The bit of new material I heard sounds great!” He was just as pleased with the announcement of the new deal between Nonpoint and Metal Blade Records. He said of the announcement, “All of us at Metal Blade are happy to welcome Nonpoint to the Metal Blade family. We are excited to work with them.”

 
Nonpoint will perform live at the Central Florida Fairgrounds at the WJRR Earthday Birthday festival. Also slated for the festival are: Alter Bridge, Everclear, All That Remains, Cypress Hill, Alien Ant Farm, Pepper, Fuel, Filter, Saving Abel, Saigon Kick, Lacuna Coil, Tantric, and many other bands.
