Eclectic hard rock band THE LUCID, which features former MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson, vocalist Vinnie Dombroski (SPONGE),actor/guitarist Drew Fortier and drummer/producer Mike Heller, has just released the official video for its track "Risk Machine" from THE LUCID 2023 "Saddle Up And Ride" EP. The clip, directed by multimedia artist Alexis Karl, and shot in New York City can be viewed here.
But that's not all — after years of anticipation, THE LUCID is hitting the stage for its live debut at the 10th annual Guitars Under The Stars music festival, set to take place July 31-August 2, 2025 in Eugene, Oregon.
Ellefson shared: "We've had so many requests for live shows, and as much as we wanted to, the timing never aligned. We're thrilled to finally make it happen at such an iconic event."
Two years ago, THE LUCID once again joined forces with legendary underground rap icon Violent J (INSANE CLOWN POSSE) for a re-imagining of FAITH NO MORE's "Epic", titled "Sweet Toof".
"Sweet Toof" was the fourth single from "Saddle Up And Ride", which was released digitally in January 2023 via SpoilerHead Records.
From the ferocious vitriolic sonic assault of the title track, "Saddle Up And Ride", to the epic off-the-wall and out-of-left-field "Sweet Toof", "Saddle Up And Ride" showcased THE LUCID feeding into their eccentric tastes spanning across thrash, country, rap, radio rock, metal, and funk.
Ellefson confirmed in 2022 that THE LUCID was working on new material as a follow-up to THE LUCID's self-titled debut album, which was released in October 2021 via SpoilerHead Records.
"The Lucid" was also produced by Heller and mixed/mastered by Lasse Lammert.
