Butch Vig sick again

Butch Vig is suffering from “an acute inner ear infection causing painful sensitivity to sound” so Matt Chamberlain will be filling in for him until he recovers.

The first live show where Matt replaced Butch this time was on May 28th, on The Joint, Las veGas. Te setlist for this show was: Push It / #1 Crush / I Think I’m Paranoid / Special / Cup of Coffee / Till The Day I Die / Not My Idea / When I Grow Up / Queer (first 2 verses only, then aborted) / Milk / Shut Your Mouth / I Just Wanna Have Something To Do / Stupid Girl / Cherry Lips / Vow // Supervixen / Only Happy When It Rains (thanks to Bill Shaw).

Matt also played drums on the May 24th show, while Butch played guitars on “Only Happy When It Rains”. Accoring to Shirley: “Had a bonkers show last night.For some inexplicable reason the entire band had a sort of weird,freaky energy that carried us somewhere quite peculiar.The gig ended with Butch trying to play the guitar on “Only Happy When it Rains” whilst Matt Chamberlain,who happens to live here in Seattle took over on drums.Discovering all too late that his talents remain squarely with the drums,Butch took to dancing and singing and generally acting the fool,much to the delight of audience and his bandmates alike.It was absolutely the worst rendition of that song in the history of Garbage but we had a total blast playing it.”

Tonight Show with Jay Leno wasn’t canceled.
