Industrial/alternative metal band Static-X are to play a few live dates in the US next month.

The band went on hiatus in 2009, allowing frontman Wayne Static to focus on his Pighammer project.  Although bandname was recently revived by Static, none of the other classic band members will be joining him on this first live trek of 2012.  Original bassist Tony Campos has commitments with Ministry and Soulfly, while Koichi Fukuda is remaining with Drugstore Fanatics.
