darth vato has a new gtr player

from darth vato bassist-resident cali punk steve steward:

We’re a four-piece now, and we stuck with family -- we are proud to announce that Joshua Loewen is slinging axes in DV. We pretty much decided to be a three-piece forever, but we did so many cool overdubs [on the new CD] that playing them live left a lot to be desired. Josh was the only one we wanted to play with us, and luckily he was stoked to jump in. I’ve wanted this to happen since he got canned from Voigt, and it’s really changing the dynamic in a really cool way -- Eric is loosening up a lot, and Kerry’s turning his performances waaaaay up.

new cd out in may.
