THE MDB BAND ROCKS THE VIPER ROOM (From Michael's Website)

Damon Fox, Mark Tremaglia, Michael Des Barres, David Goodstein and Paul ILL

The Michael Des Barres Band were back to rock the crowd at The Viper Room this Saturday, February 2nd. In addition to eight songs from Carnaby Street, the band did “Detective Man” from the first Detective album and a handful of cover versions.

Michael’s brilliant band currently includes David Goodstein (drums), Paul ILL (bass), Mark Tremaglia (guitar) and Damon Fox (keyboard).

Matt Sorum on the drums

Special guest Matt Sorum (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver) took over the drums on the final medley of “I Don’t Need No Doctor / Get It On (Bang a Gong) / Long Tall Sally”.

The concert gets a great review from Morty Coyle:

Y’see, Michael and his best band yet put on a classic rock show. That is to say that their power is in bringing an audience a rock show like one should be brought; loud, exciting, theatrical, sexy, dangerous and tight while still displaying some delicious chaos. The current band is musically as lean of sluggish flab as Michael’s lithe frame and equally as powerful.
