Sometimes they play venues 6 to 7 nights a week, but Adler’s Appetite has squeezed in one more show for Torge’s live in Austin Thursday night.

The five-member band, which consists of former Guns N’ Roses drummer, Steven Adler, Chip Z’Nuff from Enuff Z’nuff, Lonny Paul, Michael Thomas and Patrick Stone, will hit the stage sometime around between 10 and 10:30 p.m. Opening acts, Rebecca Star and the Willie Basse Band will open the show at about 8:30 p.m.

Torge’s Manager Jeremie Slagle said there’s no cover charge, and he’s excited to have such a big act with deep history in the music industry.

Adler’s Appetite specializes in authentic metal and covers of Guns N’ Roses songs. Although the current members have only been together about six weeks, Adler said he’s excited to perform with them in the traditional way: on the road.
