Static-X Frontman Wayne Static Begins Solo Tour

With Static-X on hiatus for an undetermined amount of time, lead singer Wayne Static has begun his solo tour, which kicked off in Boise, Idaho over the weekend. 

After Static-X finished up their tour in 2009, it was decided that they would be taking a break.  Many people suspected that they were breaking up, but it is being played off as just being on hiatus.  Frontman Wayne Static hasn't let it slow him down.  He has a new album on the way and began his solo tour over the weekend to back the solo effort.

Static's new album, Pighammer, comes out tomorrow and is a bit of a concept album.  In an interview with Revolver, Static explained exactly what Pighammer is all about.

It's about a mad plastic surgeon, with a pig fetish, that likes to convert hot chicks into pigs. It is the total opposite if what a plastic surgeon would do. He has this crazy hammer device made from a pig foot. The images of the surgery in the CD package are only a dark comedic visualization of the real theme of the album, which is my transformation.

Static would also say that he has wanted to do a solo album since 2000.  He explained that he was a little jealous that some of the guys in the band got to do other projects outside of Static-X.  Static was the main songwriter in the band, which he said made it difficult to break away to work on other projects.
