Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts have confirmed an album launch show at the Garage in London on April 9.
It follows the release of debut record Blaster on March 30 via EarMusic.
Weiland says: “I wanted to make a rock record. It’s got a distinctive sound – but it also can entice those Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver fans who have stuck by me.
“What we’ve come up with is really heavy, slinky, and sexy. There’s a lot of fuzz. The best way to describe it is ‘furry.’”
The singer has distanced himself from “megagroup” Art Of Anarchy, who listed him as a member when they announced their existence earlier this week. He later said: “I was never in the band – it’s something I did when I wasn’t doing anything.”
Tickets for the London show are on sale now.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
