Oh boy, are you guys ready for some funky news? 🤯 I just found out that Infectious Grooves is celebrating the 35th anniversary of their debut album, “The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move… It’s The Infectious Grooves”, and I’m totally stoked… or not. I mean, who doesn’t love a good excuse to party like it’s 1989? 🎉
So, here’s what’s going down: Infectious Grooves, the brainchild of Robert Trujillo (you know, the Metallica bassist) and Mike Muir (the Suicidal Tendencies frontman), is throwing a special concert at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, California on November 28. The lineup is a who’s who of rock royalty, featuring Trujillo, Muir, guitarists Dean Pleasants and Dave Kushner (ex-Velvet Revolver), and drummer Brooks Wackerman (Avenged Sevenfold). It’s like a musical time capsule, but with more funk and less parachute pants.
But wait, there’s more! Infectious Grooves announced the concert on social media, because where else do you announce a 35th-anniversary show? “It’s a Fonda Theater deja vu! November 28th at the Fonda Theatre. Infectious Grooves playing their entire first album to celebrate its 35th Anniversary.” I mean, who doesn’t love a good dose of nostalgia, am I right? 🙄
The Story Behind Infectious Grooves
So, for those who don’t know (and I’m assuming that’s nobody, because you’re all metalheads), Infectious Grooves was formed back in the day when Trujillo joined Suicidal Tendencies in 1989. Muir and Trujillo got together with some friends to write songs that centered around the bass, because why not? It’s not like they had anything better to do. Muir commented, “Sex Pistols and Parliament were my two favorite bands when I was young. People think they’re completely different but I saw a lot of similarities, even if musically they were categorized as completely different styles. There’s something beautiful about breaking rules that never should have been made.” Yeah, because nothing says “rule-breaking” like a funk-metal band.
But hey, who are we to judge? The result was a debut album that’s still making our booties move to this day. And if you’re lucky enough to score tickets to the show, you’ll get to experience the entire first album played live, along with some other “high octane jams” (their words, not mine). And, of course, some surprise or two, because what’s a 35th-anniversary show without a few tricks up their sleeves?
Tickets and Other Important Stuff
Tickets go on sale this Friday at 7:00 AM PST, so set your alarms, kids! You wouldn’t want to miss out on this opportunity to party like it’s 1989.

In conclusion, if you’re a fan of Infectious Grooves (and who isn’t, right? 🤷♂️), this is the show for you. It’s a chance to relive the magic of their debut album, experience some funky metal goodness, and maybe even learn a thing or two about breaking rules.
