Ides of Gemini Announce New Lineup

The news that Ides of Gemini has a new rhythm section is doubly interesting since it means vocalist Sera Timms (also Zun, Black Mare, ex-Black Math Horseman) will no longer be playing bass, as she did on their 2014 sophomore outing, Old World New Wave (review here) and its 2012 predecessor, Constantinople, both of which were released by Neurot. Timms and fellow founder J. Bennett (guitar) have hooked up with bassist Adam Murray and drummer Scott Batiste for the new lineup, the latter splitting his time with Saviours, with whom Ides of Gemini will be playing this month as they get the new band settled in.

They’re at Stumpfest this weekend in Portland and Psycho Las Vegas in August, as the PR wire affirms:

IDES OF GEMINI Announces New Lineup + Band To Kick Off Short Run Of Live Dates This Weekend

Following a short slumber, IDES OF GEMINI are back and ready to bring their otherworldly odes to the stage once again on a weekend run of live performances this weekend. The short trek includes an appearance at Stump Fest in Portland, Oregon and will showcase not only some brand new psalms but also an updated lineup featuring drummer Scott Batiste of Saviours and bassist Adam Murray of Deth Crux alongside veteran IDES man, guitarist J. Bennett, and vocalist Sera Timms.

“These gentlemen are top-notch players and wicked handsome to boot,” issues Bennett of the new cast. “We’ll be breaking in the new lineup with a handful of West Coast shows with Saviours this month, during which we’ll be debuting some new songs.”

Additionally, the band will make an appearance at Psycho Vegas this August in Las Vegas, Nevada with more live rituals to be announced in the not so distant future. Stand by.

IDES OF GEMINI:
4/22/2016 The Chapel – San Francisco, CA
4/23/2016 Stump Fest – Portland, OR
4/24/2016 Starlite Lounge – Sacramento, CA
8/26-28/2016 Psycho Vegas – Las Vegas, NV

IDES OF GEMINI released their critically-hailed, Chris Rakestraw (Danzig)-produced Old World New Wave full-length in 2014 via Neurot Recordings as well as a special, limited Carthage/Strange Fruit seven-inch via Magic Bullet last year.
