CKY have announced the addition of ex-Soulfly, etc. bassist Mike Leon to their roster. In a statement shared this morning (July 28th), the alternative rock outfit announced the news as follows:
“CKY has a new member in the lineup, and it couldn’t be a more natural fit. Mike Leon, known for his crushing bass work with Soulfly, Cavalera, Havok, and Igorrr, has officially joined the band! The new lineup made its debut at Warped Tour this past weekend, delivering a set that felt both familiar and brand new.
In a personal statement, Chad Ginsburg shared his excitement over bringing Mike into the fold:
‘I’ve watched Mike grow up in this scene, from being a diehard CKY fan in the crowd, to carving out an incredible career of his own. To see his journey come full circle and to finally share the stage with him is surreal, to say the least. Mike’s passion, drive, and history with the band make this the perfect fit. Warped Tour was just the beginning, and I can’t wait for everyone to see what’s next!’
‘As a lifelong fan, it’s an unreal feeling sharing the stage with the very same guys who sparked my passion to play in a band,’ says Mike. ‘Their music and attitude inspired me to pick up the bass and hit the stage! I’m beyond excited to be a part of the future of CKY!’
With more shows ahead and new material on the horizon, this marks a bold new chapter for CKY, one built on history, mutual respect, and raw power.
CKY + Mike Leon. It just makes sense.”
