San Francisco purveyors of righteous fuzz Acid King are barely a week out from announcing their first round of coast-to-coast dates in the better part of a decade, and here they are, adding one more to the mix. The riff-led trio join the lineup for North West Hesh Fest 2015 in Portland, Oregon, next month (Aug. 27-29) to fill the slot vacated by Weedeater, and frankly, I’d be hard pressed to think of anyone more up to the task at hand.

Acid King are supporting this year’s most excellent Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere (review here), which is their first album in 10 years, and at North West Hesh Fest 2015, they’ll play alongside YOB, Dead Moon, Pentagram and local Portland favorites Diesto, among others. If you’re into good times, it looks like it’s gonna be one.

Side note: Thanks to everyone who entered the ticket giveaway contest. A winner has been chosen and emailed. If I don’t hear back from them, another winner will be chosen and emailed, and so on. Presumably by the time I get to everyone who took the time to leave a comment in the first place, someone will have gotten back about it. But yeah, thanks.

Here’s the updated poster and info for the North West Hesh Fest, of which I’m very happy to have The Obelisk be a sponsor:
