Mos Generator Headlining Eye of the Stoned Goat 5; Split with Daily Thompson Announced
The fact that Mos Generator are headlining Eye of the Stoned Goat 5 is good news for those of us on the East Coast, but I have the feeling this also means that the Feb./March tour the Port Orchard, Washington, trio are heading out on starting Friday night in Seattle won’t be their only round of US dates this year. As announced last week, the long-running heavy rock outfit have a new lineup around guitarist/vocalist/founder Tony Reed that includes bassist Sean Booth and drummer Scotty VanDweller, and it’s with that band that Mos will take their place a the top of the Stoned Goat bill. When and if other show announcements follow, I’ll obviously be posting. Word of a European run is expected any minute now.
In the meantime, Mos Generator will put out the live collection, In Concert: 2007-2014 via Listenable Records on March 23 (track stream here), and word has also come out that the band’s original lineup has a split 7″ due in April through H42 Records that finds Mos Generator taking on the track “Vol. IV” by their one-time Washington compatriots, Golden Pig Electric Blues Band. That outfit shares a lineage with Reed going back to mid-’90s death metallers Woodrot, and released two albums in their time (discussed here). “Vol. IV” comes from their 2003 self-titled debut, and a snippet of Mos‘ version can be heard via H42‘s Bandcamp below, following the announcement from Eye of the Stoned Goat 5 and their current tour dates:
We are proud to present to you the FINAL band appearing at Eye of the Stoned Goat 5 is none other than Mos Generator!!! This is a HUGE honor as this will be Mos Generator’s first time ever in New York. Come out and show them a time they will never forget!
