Official press release:
Crowbar – who are readying to kick off a US co-headlining tour with their NOLA comrades Eyehategod – are pleased to welcome current Down bassist Pat Bruders (ex-Crowbar, ex-Goatwhore) to the lineup for their remaining 2025 shows. Bruders will fill in for Crowbar bassist Shane Wesley, who is currently on tour with Acid Bath.
Comments Crowbar vocalist/guitarist Kirk Windstein:
“Due to Shane’s prior commitments with Acid Bath, Pat Bruders will be joining us for the rest of 2025. We will miss Shane, but we are excited to reunite with Pat for these shows! This tour and the Halloween cruise [Headbanger’s Boat] are gonna be a blast! Don’t miss it!”
Offers Wesley:
“As many of you know, I’ve recently had the opportunity to be a part of the Acid Bath reunion. I’m incredibly honored and thankful to have the chance to work with not just one, but two bands I grew up listening to. Due to scheduling conflicts, Pat Bruders will be filling in for me on Crowbar’s upcoming tour with Eyehategod, as well as their Headbanger’s Boat appearance. Pat’s a good friend of mine and someone I’ve looked up to for years. His work in Crowbar and Down has always been inspiring. The Crowbar/Eyehategod tour has been long overdue. Friends and fans have been asking for this for years… If any of these shows are coming near you, go show them some support. You don’t want to miss it!”
Adds Bruders:
“I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to my brother Kirk, and my brothers in Crowbar for giving me the opportunity to step in and play again with them in place of Shane Wesley of whom I have nothing but the deepest love and respect for. He’s so very talented and a great person, and I’m gonna do my best job on his behalf for the August run with our brothers in Eyehategod, and the upcoming Halloween Headbangers Boat cruise in October. I hope everyone comes out to support and celebrate with us for a great, exciting, and super kickass time! Be there! Bring it!”
The journey will commence on August 7th in Orlando, Florida and close on August 31st in Pensacola, Florida. The tour includes a performance on the Rocks Off Concert Cruise in New York City. In October, Crowbar will perform on Lamb Of God’s Headbangers Boat.
