Drummerszone.com endorser Angel (photo) has given an update about his activities. Aside from Tinjen, he is also now playing drums for the band Switched, whom you may remember for several years back. Comments the drummer:\"Drummer Chad Szeliga is unable to perform with Switched due to his endless touring and recording scheduel with his new band, Breaking Benjamin. So they brought me in to fill the shoes! Preferably Converse All-Stars! Ha!\"
Switched\'s 2002 release \"Subject To Change\" via Immortal Records sold nearly 100,000 copies worldwide and saw the band touring on Warped Tour (2001 and 2002) and Ozzfest 2002.
Switched, back then with Szeliga on drums, also toured with Sevendust, Fear Factory, Spineshank, Tommy Lee, Machine Head, and many others.
Switched has a new home now with Corporate Punishment Records, who just re-released the \"Subject To Change\" CD, as well as the band\'s new record, \"Ghosts In The Machine\".
On February 28th, Switched will be performing at The Odeon in Cleveland, Ohio. This marks a very special day, as it will be the first time Switched has hit the stage in over two years! It\'s also serving as the CD release party for \"Ghosts In The Machine\".
Corporate Punishment Records label-mates Allele (members of Cold and Otep) are opening support. And to top it off, this will be the last show at The Odeon. The venue will be closing and locking it\'s doors after the show.
According to Angel a Switched tour is being booked.
