Quote

"[The project is] guitarist Ben Weinman (TDEP), guitarist Brent Hinds (Mastodon) bassist Eric Avery (ex-Jane's Addiction) and drummer Thomas Pridgen (ex-The Mars Volta). Weinman seems to be taking the lead on the project, as he and bassist Eric Avery have been jamming in his house and both he and Avery have been tweeting about the events. Weinman has hinted that they are planning to release snippets as the project progresses."
