On Saturday, Nov. 5, Brooklyn’s The Golden Grass head north to Providence, Rhode Island. They’ll play a show at Dusk with two of the area’s finest outfits in doomers Pilgrim and heavy rock newcomers Sweet Heat, who formed after the dissolution of Balam, and I couldn’t be more pleased to say The Obelisk will present the show. Three bands, all excellent, each with something of their own to bring. Who the hell wouldn’t want to put a logo on a gig like that?

The Golden Grass head north supporting earlier-2016’s Coming Back Again (review here), their progressive-leaning second album and debut on Listenable Records. Meanwhile, Rhode Island doom forerunners Pilgrim continue their slog back from the abyss. In August, they ran alongside Castle for a handful of shows and continue to reap acclaim for their 2014 sophomore outing, II: Void Worship (review here).

And though The Sweet Heat only recently unveiled their first demo recording, the four-piece arrive with immediate intrigue owing to their past participation in the classically doomed Balam. They’re a brand new band emerging with newfound purpose.

Drummer/vocalist Adam “Adzo” Kriney of The Golden Grass was kind enough to discuss the night a little bit. You’ll find his comments below. He’s right when he says you should show up:

Adzo speaks:

November 5 will be a memorable evening at Dusk. This will be THE GOLDEN GRASS’ triumphant and highly anticipated return after a two-year absence! And we couldn’t be more enthused than to share the stage with two of our favorite local-ish groups, the shimmering doom brilliance of PILGRIM and the throbbing monolith that is SWEET HEAT, who are none other than the newest band featuring four out of five members of BALAM, bringing ever-so-tasty hard rock to the festivities.

Boogie hard straight to your doom everyone! This night gonna be a killer, and anyone who lives within a three-hour radius of this concert had better be there as it’s gonna be one for the records… and everyone gonna get high through the night!

The concert is being graciously presented by The Obelisk.
