TOMMY STINSON February 7, 2005

TOMMY STINSON. Bass player and founding member of the seminal Minneapolis band The Replacements, Stinson switched to rhythm guitar when that band disbanded in 1991, forming the Stones-y/Face-y rock band Bash & Pop, then the poppier Perfect a few years later. In the late 90?s, he was asked to switch back to bass guitar and join Guns & Roses, a position he still holds today. STINSON is touring in support of his new album, Village Gorilla Head. Called a ?Stunning achievement? by Rolling Stone Magazine, VGH features hints of the Beatles, Clash, Cheap Trick, Squeeze and Big Star. Also on the bill BRAIN BOX and KEN WILL MORTON.
