In a recent tour throughout Europe, Nick Oliveri performed 17 shows in 18 days with his band, Mondo Generator, promoting the album Hell Comes To Your Heart and at the same time he gifted fans with an acoustic show in some cities across Europe.
Nick is restless. Even though he had a serious car accident last June, when he totaled his vehicle, he spent only five hours in the hospital, he got the energy to go on tour in Alaska only nine days heafter the accident, with some remnants glasses of the accident jammed into his head. In Alaska, he performed a few shows and started the project of the new band The Situationalists in partnership with Lowell George Granath and Cody Kniceley.
