With the passing of Eyehategod drummer Joey LaCaze, fans were left to wonder if the band would go on without him, and if so with who? Well for at least one show, The Melvins' drummer Dale Crover will fill LaCaze's powerful shoes. Eyehategod have been announced for Phil Anselmo's Housecore Horror festival for quite some time, and the band has chosen to soldier on without LaCaze. They will welcome in Melvins' drummer Dale Crover to sit behind the kit for one night only. According to Phil Anselmo himself:
“In the wake of severe tragedy, with Eyehategod drummer Joey LaCaze passing away recently, Melvins drummer Dale Crover will be filling in for an unforgettable alliance with EHG! Dammit, you KNOW you have to see this unique performance! If you don't have a ticket to the HHFF, get one ASAP to witness this historic event. It’ll be historic on so many levels!"
So it seems like it'll be a good show. Nothing has been said of who will play all the other shows Eyehategod will be doing in the future, or if those shows are still happening. Of course, this is all being done in memory of their fallen drummer, Joey LaCaze; we all wish you were still tearing up the skins.
