Pearl Jam's Mike McCready has joined forces with former Guns 'N Roses / Velvet Revolver bassist Duff McKagan and former Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin to form a new band. The band, who have no singer and name at the moment will be a collective supergroup that hope to record new material later this year.
The Killers are already in the studio working on a follow-up to last years lackluster, Battle Born. Drummer Ronnie Vanucci told The Daily Star,""I hope there's a new album soon. We've been working on stuff.We were in the studio just the week before last. I want to put out a new record now but it's about getting us all on the same page. I bring a guitar with me everywhere. Playing the same songs over and over again is like having the same dinner every night. So you want to start getting in the kitchen and experimenting a bit."
