Mike Dirnt's side band, The Frustrators, will be coming out with a new EP this year

[jtdscape]

Just posted this on GDA:

Mike Dirnt's side band, The Frustrators, announced today on their Facebook that they are currently in the studio working on a forthcoming EP that will be released later this year. They also said that they are also currently planning some shows in California. No dates are confirmed for anything at this point.

Suspicion of The Frustrators recording a new EP first started in March 2010 when the band began posting pictures on Facebook in an album called, "Shots from the bunker". You can view all of those studio pictures by clicking here.

For those of you who don't know, The Frustrators are a punk rock band comprised of members Jason Chandler (lead vocals), Terry Linehan (guitar, vocals), Art Tedeschi (drums), and Mike Dirnt (bass). The band has previously released two albums on Billie Joe's record label, Adeline Records. The last release by The Frustrators was their album "Achtung Jackass" in 2003.

You can purchase some of The Frustrators music from either iTunes or Adeline Records.

Sweet!

I didn't live in LA when they played with The Influents at The Troubadour in the early 2000's.

It will be great to see them in a small environment & I assume that the majority of attendees with be men in their late 20's/early 30's like the PHGP shows in SoCal were in 2008!
