Earlier today, a New Jersey Club called Starland Ballroom revealed a show date with Saliva, Powerman 5000, Adema, and Flaw. The show, set for July 17th, was a rumored tour billed as the “Nu Metal Revival 2020” tour. In a Facebook post, Saliva officially confirmed the line-up for both the tour and the band revealing that former frontman Josey Scott is NOT with the band.
This is happening!! Dates will be announced in a few days.
We also would like to squash any confusion. The current lineup for Saliva is –
BOBBY AMARU
WAYNE SWINNY
PAUL CROSBY
BRAD STEWART
In October of 2019, Josey Scott said in an interview with The Morning Dump Podcast, that he was going to get back together with Saliva and planned on a new album and tour for 2020:
“I’m going to get back together with the guys and we’re gonna do a reunion tour and a new album next year. January 2020, we’re gonna put the old thinking caps on and get in the studio.”
“Now that I’m clean and sober, my mind is clear, and I’m focused like I used to be in my 20s when I wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. And I went out, and people told me I’d never make it and they told I’d never get a record deal, and I said, ‘Fuck you!’ and I went and got it anyway… without a high school diploma. I’ve kind of got that focusness back.’
“I’m gonna get in the studio with the guys, I’m gonna write a badass record, and we’re gonna go sell it.”
