Jason Newsted has a new EP and is touring (dates, stream)

Jason Newsted

Jason Newsted is back on the road with a band that isn’t Metallica or Voivod. The bassist’s new project, named simply Newsted, features a stripped down three-piece approach, and he’s taking the show on the road for a North American trek. Full tour dates are below including a stop at Highline Ballroom on May 21(tickets) and Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ on May 23 (tickets).

For the curious, yes, Newsted (the band) is running on the steam of his new and poetically titled EP, Metal. Out now, you can check out the first single “Soldierhead” below.
