Lo-Pan Join Lineup for Desertfest Berlin 2015
Hot off the release of their fourth album, Colossus (review here), Ohio fuzz rockers Lo-Pan have been announced as taking part in Desertfest Berlin 2015. The announcement follows a recent schism/split with guitarist Brian Fristoe, and since Lo-Pan are also slated to play Roadburn and have shows booked before then and will be touring Europe as well, one can’t help but wonder who’ll be handling guitar for them going forward. No word has come out yet in that regard, but I’ll let you know when I hear what’s up.
In the meantime, good for the band — who killed when they came through recently with Black Cobra — for getting over to Europe. Feels a little overdue for how hard they’ve slogged it out in the States, but better late than never, and I’m sure they’ll find open arms waiting for them at Desertfest, Roadburn and wherever else they might wind up.
Two-in-one news: first, we are pleased to tell you that fuzz rockers Lo-Pan join the SOL family and will be touring in April! Then, we are proud to add them to our DesertFest Berlin line-up! Stay tuned for more news!
We stoked to announce that fuzz rockers Lo-Pan are now confirmed to kick a good deal of ass at Desertfest Berlin 2015!
With “Colossus”, LO-PAN’s last album – released about a month ago on Small Stone Records – the Columbus’ four-piece have moved beyond their influences and arrived at their own sound – a “style built on aggression without caricature, fuzz without cliché, melody without redundancy and their meanest groove to date.” (The Obelisk)

“The announcement follows a recent schism/split with guitarist Brian Fristoe” – huh? That’s too bad, when did that happen? They look so happy in the pictures…
It happened after this tour. Not really sure on the whole situation, but yeah.
I hope this doesn’t start a downward spiral for the band. I love these guys and their latest record kicks major ass. I live in Buffalo and they came rambling through here without me knowing. I was very disappointed.
Are you going to Desertfest next year?
I’d love to, but money is very tight.
