Un 3e groupe pour Cameron !
bassist Ben Shepherd and drummer Matt Cameron (also a member of Pearl Jam) are teaming up with Off! guitarist Dimitri Coats and multi-instrumentalist Alain Johannes (ex-Queens of the Stone Age) for an unnamed new project.
Coats, who will be a vocalist in the group along with Johannes, tells Billboard that the group came together after a Facebook exchange with Cameron. As part of the online conversation, Cameron told him about a project that he, Shepherd and Johannes had started back in 2008 and wanted to resume.
“So I was like, ‘Jeez, let me in on that,’” Coats says. “They invited me to Seattle and it was really incredible. There was just an instant chemistry and a really creative and open situation where everybody’s passing around the guitar and throwing in ideas. I sort of felt like I was in the grunge Beatles.”
Coats describes the sound of the music they’ve created as heavy and doomy, but across the board. “It’s a little bit more laid-back than I would’ve thought, but in a good way,” he says. “There’s some kind of heavy, bluesy moments and then there’s some really beautiful stuff, too.”
He continues, “It’s a little bit like ‘Superunknown,’ that kind of era of Soundgarden, mixed with Alain’s kind of Stevie Wonder vibe. And they call me the secret weapon; I’m a little bit rough around the edges, but I have a lot of good ideas.”
There’s not a lot of time currently for recording, as the members are busy with other projects. Shepherd is touring with Soundgarden, Cameron took a hiatus from Soundgarden to play with Pearl Jam, and Off! also have summer tour dates.

) et je commence à jouer Betterman (qui sonne merveilleusement bien sur ce type de gratte, en passant), et à surprise... Le guitariste chanteur connait par coeur et chante le couplet et un refrain en disant "mais bon, j'ai pas la voix de Vedder".
