HELLYEAH IS "ALL ABOUT A GOOD TIME"

Band ready to raise some, well, you can figure it out

TRAVERSE CITY-- Vinnie Paul has some advice for you:

"Get your beer-drinking helmet on and get ready to rock 'n roll," said Paul, drummer for the new supergroup Hellyeah.

They're coming to Streeters nightclub in Traverse City on Saturday. Special guests Nonpoint and Bury Your Dead will open the show.

Hellyeah is a fuse of heavy hitters from the hard rock/metal world. From Mudvayne, there's vocalist Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett. From Nothingface, guitarist Tom Maxwell. And from Damageplan, bassist Bob Zilla and drummer Paul, also of Pantera fame.

The Traverse City stop comes on the final leg of a lengthy tour schedule that kicked off last spring, after their self-titled debut was released by Epic Records. The album entered the Billboard 200 at No. 9 and topped 300,000 units sold over the holidays, according to Paul.
