Drummer Mikey Neil and the band Cage have parted ways with each other. The remaining band members have started the search for a new drummer. In their own words:\"The band wishes the best of luck to Mikey on any new musical venture that he may seek. (..) Cage are currently seeking the ultimate heavy metal monster drummer that has the musical chops, looks, attitude, the ultimate double bass drum kit and the hunger to join the world\'s most vicious heavy metal band.\"
According to the band, they are looking for a drummer who plays in the musical styles of either Bobby Jarzombek (Halford), Dave Lombardo (Slayer), Tommy Aldridge (Whitesnake), Scott Travis (Judas Priest), Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden), Mikkey Dee (Motörhead) or Max Duhamel (Kataklysm).
All interested drummers who are willing to relocate to San Diego, California need to e-mail a personal biography, band / recording history; pictures (full body and live in action) and pictures of their insane drum kit to Cage\'s management at the following e-mails: contact@desertrockusa.com or desertrockusa@hotmail.com.
The drumming fury of Mikey Neil powered the rhythm section in Neil Turbin\'s Deathriders, the band revolving around original Anthrax vocalist Neil Turbin, until June 2005. Mikey Neil was replaced by Gene McEwen (Steel Prophet).
