Rest Of STP To Form New Supergroup

[Malcolm]

 Former STONE TEMPLE PILOTS members Dean (guitar) and Robert DeLeo (bass) have confirmed a January 14 show with a new band at B.B. King's nightclub in Los Angeles, according to Launch Radio Networks.

The DeLeo brothers are part of the new band known as FARM FUR, which is rounded out by Steve Ferrone, who drums with TOM PETTY, and singer Alex Lighterwood, who has recorded with CARLOS SANTANA. This newly minted super group will perform versions of STONE TEMPLE PILOTS songs as well as new original tunes.

Hardly what Id call a "supergroup," but its great these guys are making music again though.  I would have loved to see Dean in the new GNR actually...   I would also have liked to see Eric Kretz in this new band...

Awful name by the way.

[using my illusions]

oh man, Dean in GN'R - that would be Amazing

[Cornell]

Farm Fur 

Oh well, I won't be running out to catch this "supergroup" without some proof of success.

[Pryor Murphy]

these guys aren't no way near velvet revolver .

they don't deserve the name supergroup.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Farm Fur will not likely light up the charts

[R4tfink]

Farm Fur will not likely light up the charts

Maybe thats not the idea.

So now we have...

Guns N Roses
AudioSlave
Velvet Revolver
and
Farm Fur.

Great.

Roll on DTX...

 Former STONE TEMPLE PILOTS bassist Robert DeLeo has posted the following message on the group's official web site:

"I can confirm that Dean [DeLeo, former STONE TEMPLE PILOTS guitarist] and I will be playing with FARM FUR, but for only three shows. Our friend Steve Ferrone asked us to sit in, and we were honored to be asked to play with such great musicians. It's a lot of fun. It's a 10 to 12 piece band, a bit different from what Dean and I have ever done. The songs being performed are musical contributions from each artist or band the artist is from. The set will include songs by THE AVERAGE WHITE BAND, SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE, RUFUS, Steve's solo stuff, as well as a couple STP songs. The STP material isn't intended to be played like STP. It's a one-time chance for Dean and I to take a couple of our songs and perform them with some of the best musicians on this planet. Would you pass that up? FARM FUR is certainly not a long-term band. It's a chance to have a hell of a lot of fun, and be musically challenged by some pretty intimidating players.

"Now let me fill you in on what FARM FUR means: Dean keeps his horses at a ranch that has a lot of unique animals. One day a zebra jumped the fence and made it with a donkey. (No shit) The result was a donkey-like animal with a black and white mane, and black and white legs only ? but the rest donkey. We took a picture of this animal, which we affectionately refer to as a Dizonkey, to rehearsal one day and everyone cracked up. Dean actually came up with the name FARM FUR. We put the two together, and thought it was funny as hell.

"We're playing the 14th at BB King's, the 15th at the Malibu inn, and the 21st at the NAMM show. (I repeat, this is not intended to be a serious long-term band.)

"Also, Dean and I have something coming up that you will all be thoroughly excited about. More of that to come."

Sounds similar to "Camp Freddy"
