I am a music enthusiast with a deep love for the energy of crowded venues, loud music, & passionate fans. I have a diverse background that includes private security, talent buying, festival security planning, & media relations. I've also worked as a camera operator for various projects, including music videos featuring notable artists like Bernz, Tech N9ne, & Krizz Kaliko. Additionally, I am a camera operator for Full Moon Features, where I contribute to the production of horror movies.

L.A. Rats is the new supergroup featuring bassist Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe), vocalist Rob Zombie and his guitarist John 5, and drummer Tommy Clufetos (Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie, Black Sabbath). The band came together to cover “I’ve Been Everywhere” by Geoff Mack for the upcoming Netflix movie Ice Road due out on June 25. The movie’s soundtrack also will feature contributions from artists like Jason Isbell, Miranda Lambert, and Tim McGraw.

The song has been penciled in together of the key cuts to be featured on the new soundtrack for the Netflix film The Ice Road starring Liam Neeson. The film is about to arrive on June 25 with the soundtrack dropping the same day.

It’s fairly easy to attach the dots between the collective with John 5 currently serving as Zombie’s guitarist while drummer Tommy Clufetos has been a part of Zombie’s band within the past. Sixx, meanwhile, contains a long-running friendship with John 5 and they’ve shared the stage together at shows over the years. John 5 also helped out writing material for the Motley Crue film adaptation of The Dirt.

The globe-trotting track “I’ve Been Everywhere” was initially penned in 1959 by Geoff Mack and has been covered often, with Hank Snow making it a chart-topping country hit in 1962. Johnny Cash, Lynn Anderson, Asleep at the Wheel, et al. have also covered the song over the years.

Even though the L.A. Rats are a gaggle of hard rock musicians, The Ice Road soundtrack leans heavily country with Tim McGraw, Jason Isbell, Miranda Lambert, Carly Pearce, and more filling out the tracklisting.

News of the supergroup began to spread Wednesday as Zombie, Sixx, and John 5 all shared the L.A. Rats logo on their social media accounts. it’s not been revealed if the group will record additional music beyond the lone soundtrack contribution that’s set to arrive tomorrow.
