Drummer Eric Moore II, who has worked with Sly & the Family Stone and Bobby Brown among others, has joined Venice Beach, California thrash/punk band Suicidal Tendencies. Eric is replacing Dave Hildago Jr.\"We would like to give a big thanks to Dave Hildago Jr. Dave\'s last show was the \'We The People\' festival last month. Dave\'s a good friend and always was there when the band needed him. Everyone wishes him and his family all the best, and much success in his future projects. We\'re also very excited to let those of you that don\'t know yet, that Eric Moore will be taking over the ST drums full time. (...) Eric has an unbelievable mixture of power and finesse and the band is extra excited about the upcoming tours. It\'s a great chance to show off Eric and preview some new tracks.\"
Suicidal Tendencies are tentatively scheduled to release their long-awaited new album in late 2008/early 2009. Some of the cd\'s recording sessions were overseen by producer Paul Northfield.
