Ides of Gemini Teams with Ghost for Haze over North America Tour
Am I the only one who can’t look at the tour name “Haze over North America” and think of “Tap into America” from Spinal Tap? Either way, Ghost and Ides of Gemini have teamed up and will hit the road together starting April 18 in Denver. Also, apparently Ghost have to call themselves Ghost B.C. in the US now? So many unanswered questions, so little energy to think of witty fake answers.
Either way, you can pretty much bet these shows are going to be packed out, so good for Ides of Gemini. It doesn’t get Sera Timms working on a new Black Math Horseman record any sooner, but I can hardly call it wasted time. If you missed it, Ides of Gemini‘s 2012 debut long-player, Constantinople (track stream here), contained some choice atmospherics.
And because you’ve probably seen the Ghost press release everywhere else — they’ve got an album that by amazing coincidence will be out the same week their shows start — I’ll post the Ides version because I’m just that frickin’ underground:
IDES OF GEMINI Announce Haze Over North America 2013 Tour With Ghost
West Coast ethereal doom trio IDES OF GEMINI are pleased and honored to announce a full tour this Spring supporting cult metalists, Ghost. Dubbed the Haze Over North America 2013 tour, the three-week run will commence on April 18th in Denver, Colorado, with additional IDES headlining dates to be announced in the coming weeks. The jaunt follows the band’s successful month-long trek through Europe last Fall and an opening slot with legendary sound revolutionaries Neurosis in January.
Notes guitarist/backing vocalist J. Bennett of the upcoming journey: “Ghost’s Opus Eponymous is the ultimate liturgical canon for our fair young century — catchy as hell, too — and we couldn’t be more thrilled to traverse the continent with them. Keeping secrets is one of our favorite pastimes, so touring with an anonymous band is especially satisfying for us. Plus, we get along famously with Satanists. In other words: Aces all around.”
