Rock & Roll Biographies Suicidal Tendencies Infectious Groov

Enjoy this cool flip book featuring two iconic California bands formed by the legendary Mike Muir! Suicidal Tendencies was formed in 1980 as a punk band in Venice, California. Originally only intended as a "party band," Suicidal Tendencies grew in notoriety. Suicidal Tendencies had a rough start, including being voted "Worst Band/Biggest Assholes" in 1982 but the following year were voted "Best New Band." In 2000 Mike Muir eventually became interested in the funk music that Robert Trujillo had brought to the table. As a result, the two formed a funk metal side project in the vein of early Red Hot Chili Peppers called Infectious Grooves. Recruiting drummer Stephen Perkins and guitarist Adam Slagel, this helped expand Suicidal Tendencies' fan base into a wider audience that included members of the alternative rock community.
