On October 12th 2012, they played at The Vic Theater in Chicago. This is hands down one of the best shows I have ever attended. Mike Ness and band put on one hell of a show. Always keeping to their roots of blend of punk, blues, country, and rockabilly, their set was an amazing mix of their classics, with old favorites like Ball and Chain and Sick Boys, closing with Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire. Ness has an amazing stage presence and sounded better than ever. Social Distortion blew the roof off the Vic Theater. I plan on attending all of their future shows in Chicago.<br /><br />

Working with Olya & Vira Ishchuk (known as "The Mad Twins") was a great experience," says Mike Ness. "Olya & Vira created this animated piece on their own time as a gift to us, and they nailed it – we didn't change a thing. Being able to capture the true essence of the song without our input shows The Mad Twins' artistry, and how talented they truly are. When I was writing "Gimme the Sweet and Lowdown," the idea behind it was a lifestyle gone wrong due to making really bad life decisions. I never intended for it to be autobiographical, but now with this visual, I realize that it actually is more about me than it seemed when I wrote it.2012-07-30 02:00:0012012-07-30 19:02:242012-07-30 19:03:241Sarah720image/jpegsd_gimme_premiere.jpg7881NULLNULL2001151672012-07-30 19:02:242012-07-30 19:02:24166WISHING ANTHONY ERVIN & THE US OLYMPIC TEAM OUR BESTSocial Distortion would like to wish Anthony Ervin and all of our U.S. Olympians our very best!<br /><br />

Click <a href="http://www.socialdistortion.com/news/">HERE</a> for more!You read it correctly, Social Distortion have officially announced the release of their new album Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes due out January 18, 2011. The guys don’t waste any time getting to business on Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes with the long awaited instrumental intro “Road Zombie,” which sets the tone for the next fifty five minutes. Followed by some new sounds with songs like “California (Hustle And Flow),” which includes backing gospel singers and greasy solos. A quoted nod to the Stones and sure to give you the chills. Rest assured that you’ll find some familiarity with songs you’ve been hearing on the road such as “Diamond In The Rough” and “Bakersfield.”
Be sure to keep your ears peeled for the band's first single "Machine Gun Blues," a grinding modern day Bonnie & Clyde outlaw style anthem. "Machine Gun Blues" will be available for download via iTunes on November 16.

We've always been open to new ideas and pushing the envelope, but we have also been very conscientious about the decisions we've made.

Charlie had this to say about his departure, "Playing with Social D for ten years was a good time in my life. I was lucky to play on two Social D records and the second solo album, and I am proud to have been part of the band. We hit some spectacular heights which I will never forget - adios amigos!"
Filling Charlie's big shoes is none other than Atom Willard. You've probably seen Atom wailing on the skins with Rocket From The Crypt, The Offspring, or his most recent band Angels & Airwaves. We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome such a great talent and individual into the band.

On the morning of March 2nd, 2009, while surfing South of the pier in Huntington Beach, CA Jay suffered a C6 spinal cord injury (SCI) leaving his body limp from the chest down. With the help of an amazing medical staff and after two successful surgeries, Jay’s injury was determined to be an incomplete spinal cord injury. On Friday, March 13, after almost two weeks in intensive care, Jay was transferred to The Rehabilitation Center at Long Beach Memorial Hospital where he is currently receiving physical therapy five days a week.

After 20 years of serving as Social Distortion's bass player John Maurer has decided to leave the band. Maurer completed the recording of "Sex, Love and Rock and Roll', the new Social Distortion full length studio recording but has decided to forgo the usual extended promotion and touring in order to stay home and devote time to his wife and two children.
"For the better part of twenty years I would finish making a record and then leave my home and family for long periods of time", Maurer said. "It was a blast and I have great memories but the hiatus between records in the past six years has given me a chance to develop other interests at home and hang with my family. I just don't want to leave."
Mike Ness commented, "I have known John since junior high. I respect what he is doing but we will sure miss him a lot."
Matt Freeman, one of the premier bass players in punk rock, has come aboard for this record cycle. "Rancid is always going to be my priority", Matt said. "But Tim has the Transplants and Lars has the Bastards. I like to think I have a pretty cool side band now too."
Ness said the decision to call Freeman was only complicated by Matt's well-known loyalty for Rancid. "We asked ourselves who the best guy out there was and it was Matt. We figured there was no way but it looks like Rancid is going to have just enough down time for us to keep Matt busy. These shows are going to be real special with him in the band."
Social Distortion's new record, "Sex, Love and Rock and Roll' is due in stores September 28th. The DVD documentary, "Live in OC" was released on July 27th.

Earlier this week (January 23), RAC and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, AFL-CIO (AFTRA) and American Federation of Musicians (AFM) members converged on Sacramento calling on legislators to support Senate Bill 1246 (Murray), legislation to repeal California Labor Code Section 2855, subdivision B, because it unfairly excludes recording artists from the same protection of law afforded all other working persons in California who sign a personal services contract. They came together to repeal the amendment to the state's "seven-year" statute which amendment exempts musicians from the seven-year limit on entertainment contracts. RAC, AFTRA and AFM members--including Don Henley, Carole King, John Fogerty, Beck, Stevie Nicks, Ray Parker, Jr., Sheryl Crow, the Deftones, Paul Doucette (Matchbox Twenty), Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine), Dexter Holland (Offspring) and Paul Almeida, President of the Department for Professional Employees of the AFL-CIO;John Connolly, President AFTRA; and John Russum, Executive Director AFTRA LA--met with legislators to discuss their support of SB 1246 (Murray). Joining them were Dick Gabriel, National Assistant to the President of American Federation of Musicians; representatives of the Hollywood Entertainment Labor Council; Tom Rankin, President, California Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO; Art Pulaski, Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the California Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO; and Miguel Contreras,President, Los Angeles County Labor Federation. RAC represents the economic and creative interests of featured recording artists whose interests are not always directly represented by other organizations or the recording industry. In the past, RAC members have successfully testified before congress to repeal "work for hire"copyright legislation which was detrimental to recording artists.2002-01-25 01:00:0012008-10-13 01:03:562008-10-13 01:04:031DavidNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULL56IT'S CLEAR THAT SOCIAL DISTORTION IS BACK - LOS ANGELES TIMESSocial Distortion has recently launched a 20-night tour with multiple nights in Los Angeles, Anaheim, San Diego and Las Vegas.

IT'S CLEAR THAT SOCIAL DISTORTION IS BACK - LOS ANGELES TIMES - 1/18/01
By: RANDY LEWIS
Social Distortion frontman Mike Ness wasted neither time nor sentiment Tuesday at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, glaring out over the capacity crowd and launching a blazing, 90-minute show by shouting "Let's get this done!"
If Ness sounded like a man embarking on a necessary but not entirely enjoyable task, it's not because the veteran Orange County punk band's return after a long hiatus forces his burgeoning solo career to the back burner.
This tour, which includes 14 sold-out nights at the House of Blues clubs in West Hollywood and Anaheim, is the band's first since the death last year of longtime rhythm guitarist Dennis Danell, Ness' soul mate in the punk wars.
Ness spoke of Danell twice Tuesday--before "Don't Take Me For Granted," a song he introduced in May at a Danell memorial show, and later to say that an album coming this year would be dedicated to him.
Ness, as always, vented through his songs. In such vintage numbers as "Dear Lover" and "Bad Luck," Ness let his deepest feelings out.
Former Cadillac Tramps guitarist Johnny Wickersham has taken over rhythm duties, accompanying Ness, bassist John Maurer and drummer Charlie Quintana with an energy that fueled songs without mimicking Danell's rolling sheets of white noise, which had defined Social D.'s sound.2001-01-19 01:00:0012008-10-13 01:04:472008-10-13 01:05:161DavidNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULL57Mike Ness on Radio OneMike Ness was recently interviewed by Steve Lamacq for a special on US Punk that will air on UK Radio 1 on 21st August 11.00 pm to 11.30pm (UK time).

We've had time to pick ourselves up, dust off the dirt and do what's right. We keep looking forward and staying ahead in order to make A KICK ASS FLIPN' SOCIAL D. RECORD! A record that makes every SxDx member, friend and fan proud as well as revert back to the first feeling that we had experiencing Social D.I think Mike sums the new record up, "So this record will be a departure from our others without losing our signature style. It has a real '70's feel and a real 2000 feel. It's definitely a balance of the two." I'm going to do what I have to do to fill my slot and continue the legacy of Social Distortion.I would like to personally thank and dedicate my efforts to every promoter, security guard, bartender, waitress, dancer, fan, friend and family member for the last fifteen years of shaping me and my memories of Social D. I would especially like to thank the person who shared all these memories with me, the man I loved and consider my brother - Dennis Eric Danell 1961-2000

Saez has already worked with Social Distortion and Mike Ness a few times, producing Ness' two solo albums and SD's "Live at the Roxy.". He has lent himself not only as producer, engineer and mixer but has also played guitar and percussion as well. He has a long list of other credits including working with bands like Nine Inch Nails, System of a Down and Porno for Pyros.Joining Mike and John in the studio will be Charlie Quintana and Johnny Wickersham, who both recently played with Social D at the When The Angels Sing benefit.2000-06-08 02:00:0012008-10-13 01:08:102008-10-13 01:08:181DavidNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULL60Dennis Danell, longtime guitarist for seminal punk rock band Social Distortion, died on Tuesday, February 29thDennis Danell, longtime guitarist for seminal punk rock band Social Distortion, died on Tuesday, February 29th.Dennis Danell, longtime guitarist for seminal punk rock band Social Distortion, died on Tuesday, February 29th.
Dennis Danell, the 38-year-old guitarist for punk band Social Distortion, died of natural causes on Tuesday February 29th. Danell is survived by his wife Christie, 3 year-old son and 6 month-old daughter.
Danell, a founding member of Social Distortion, enjoyed a prosperous recording career with the band since it's inception in 1979. Over his 20 years as their guitarist and backing vocalist, Danell lent his gritty, high-octane style to the band, making him an integral link in the Social Distortion sound. With Social Distortion, Danell's album credits include Mainliner (1981), Mommy's Little Monster (1982), the punk rock documentary film Another State Of Mind (1982), Prison Bound (1985), Social Distortion (1990) Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell (1992) White Light, White Heat, White Trash (1996) and Live At The Roxy (1998).
On break from Social Distortion since recording the live album, Danell was busy recording local Orange County bands in SD's long time recording studio, Casbah in Fullerton.
Social Distortion singer Mike Ness said, 'I am saddened beyond any possible form of expression. Dennis and I have been friends since boyhood, starting Social Distortion while we were in high school. My deepest regrets to his family.'2000-03-01 01:00:0012008-10-13 01:09:072008-10-13 01:09:211DavidNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULLNULL
