"Every once in a while, a collection of musical talents will converge for a short-lived project - maybe a concert, maybe a recording session. Members of R.E.M. and U2 teamed up as Automatic Baby to play Bill Clinton's first presidential inauguration; a few years later, members of Radiohead, Mudhoney and Sonic Youth worked together to flesh out the fictional bands in the surreal glam-rock film Velvet Goldmine."
"As Eddie Fu reports for Consequence, the group, known as the Dirty Bats and featuring Andrew Watt alongside members of Guns N' Roses and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, featured a series of guest vocalists. Besides the aforementioned Carlile and Vedder, Anthony Kiedis, Bruno Mars and Yungblud appeared on vocals over the course of the night. The set list included some Pearl Jam and Carlile numbers, as well as "War Pigs," "Johnny B. Goode" and "Ace of Spades.""
