Mackie is one of my favorite hardcore drummers.

This announcement was posted to Madball's MySpace page yesterday:

We’re sad to announce that after 6 years with the band, our drummer Rigg Ross will be moving on. We’d like to wish him all the best for the future, and he will have our love and respect forever.

At the same time, we’d like to welcome Mackie Jayson (former Cro-Mags, Bad Brains) to the band. We look forward to playing our first shows with him later this month. See you all soon!

Unfortunately, Madball doesn't have any area shows scheduled at this time.
