REX BROWN Looking Forward To Getting Back To Work With DOWN

January 27, 2010

Bassist Rex Brown (DOWN, PANTERA) has nearly fully recuperated from his fight with pancreatitis, a sudden inflammation of the pancreas which can have severe complications and high mortality despite treatment. He says, "After two major surgeries to close out 2009, I have recovered from pancreatitis and I'm looking forward to getting back to work with DOWN."

Brown and his DOWN bandmates have discussed reconvening in New Orleans soon after the Saints win the Super Bowl to begin work on a new album. With a release date yet to be announced, the new CD will be the band's fourth studio offering.

Brown, who is currently looking forward to a healthy and productive 2010, says, "I'd like to thank everyone for their support and well wishes during my illness and recovery."

DOWN tapped Danny Theriot of Metairie, Louisiana to fill in on bass for the group's most recent North American trek, which kicked off on August 3, 2009 at Beaumont Club in Kansas City, Kansas.

DOWN has inked a deal with E1 Music for the release of the long-awaited rockumentary "Down – Diary of a Mad Band", which is due in the spring. Watch the members of DOWN as they tear up Europe — literally and figuratively — on their first European tour.
