Ides of Gemini Announce West Coast Tour
Ambient ritualists Ides of Gemini have a handful of shows booked in June, a slot at Crucialfest 5 in Salt Lake City alongside Goatsnake, Mothership, Eagle Twin, SubRosa, Uzala, Cold Blue Mountain and others, as well as a gig for Demon Lung‘s new album release and two shows with Oxbow, but it’s in July that they’ll really hit the road again, hitting up the West Coast for 10 shows with Clay Rendering.
The trio are still out supporting last year’s Old World/New Wave (review here) and have a new 7″ that came out for Record Store Day as well. News comes from the PR wire and goes like this:
IDES OF GEMINI Announces Summer Tour With Clay Rendering, Performance At Crucialfest And More
IDES OF GEMINI are very pleased to announce their latest bout of West Coast live ceremonies. Set to commence on July 14th in Oakland, the journey will coil its way around ten cities through California, Oregon, Vancouver and Washington, coming to a close on July 24th in Glendale. The band will be joined by blackened dream pop duo, Clay Rendering. As a precursor to the expedition, the ethereal trio will play two shows supporting Oxbow next week. Two weeks later the IDES will head to Salt Lake City for a performance at Crucialfest alongside Rosetta, Norska, Disforia and more followed by slot on the Demon Lung record release show in Las Vegas June 20th.
The latest round of IDES OF GEMINI rituals follows the band’s run supporting acclaimed indie rockers, Mountain Goats, which was cut short due to a medical injury sustained by drummer Kelly Johnston-Gibson. “After the disappointment of having to drop off the Mountain Goats tour last month,” issues guitarist J. Bennett, “we’re looking forward to getting out on the road again. Unfortunately, Kelly’s injury is still healing so she won’t be able to join us for the June shows with Oxbow and Demon Lung or our appearance at Cruficalfest in Salt Lake. The good news is that our friend Sash Popovic, formerly of [singer/bassist] Sera’s [Timms] old band, Black Math Horseman, will be filling in for those. He’s a killer drummer and a great guy, so we’re very thankful that he’s agreed to help us out. If all goes according to plan, Kelly should be back in action for the July run with Clay Rendering.”
