Song appears on Live: It’s Been Awhile
Multi-platinum rock band Staind has released a live version of “Mudshovel” from their upcoming album, Live: It’s Been Awhile, out May 7th via Yap’em/Alchemy Recordings.
The classic “Mudshovel” is from Staind’s 1996 self-released debut album, Tormented, which led to the band’s first record deal with Flip Records.
“There hasn’t been a gig since we first wrote this song in ’96 where we haven’t played Mudshovel,” says Staind guitarist Mike Mushok. “It’s definitely become a fan favorite and I have as much fun playing it now as I did back then.”
The forthcoming new album, Live: It’s Been Awhile will be accompanied by The Return Of Staind: A Two Part Global Streaming Series in partnership with Danny Wimmer Presents. The series launches with Staind’s Live: It’s Been Awhile (From Foxwoods) concert, which streams globally on May 1st. The Live: It’s Been Awhile album and concert were recorded at the band’s comeback show at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT in October 2019. The never-before-seen concert celebrates the band’s reunion after a five-year hiatus.
The band will also be performing their iconic multi-platinum 2001 album Break The Cycle in its entirety for a May 8th streaming event, exactly 20 years after the album’s release.
Both global streaming events debut at 5 pm EDT/2 pm PDT/10 pm BST/11 pm CEST on their respective days and will be available on-demand for 72 hours.
Fans can purchase tickets for one or both of the Staind global streaming events at StaindLive.com. Bundles and VIP experiences, including exclusive merchandise, a custom Staind guitar autographed by the entire band, and a virtual meet & greet with the band, are also available.]
