Acid King Announce European Tour Starting July 15

acid king

I’m not usually the type to call bands legends, but I’ll make an exception in the case of Acid King, because that’s how fucking awesome I think they are. The San Francisco three-piece have been very casually added to summer fests like SonicBlast Moledo 2017, Stoned from the Underground 2017, Red Smoke and Lake on Fire 2017 over the last couple months, and they’ve now announced the string of tour dates that will tie all of those appearances and others together. Running from July 15 through Aug. 12, and appropriately enough starting at one fest and ending at another, the stint features some significant back and forth — Germany to Poland to Germany? Germany to Italy to Belgium to Austria to Germany to Israel to Portugal? — but looks like it will be a killer time all the way around as the riff legends continue to support their 2015 album Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere (review here), which remains a cause well worth heralding.

Note that Acid King have a new lineup, with bassist Rafa Martinez (also Black Cobra) and drummer Bil Bowman (also Hornss) stepping in for the longtime rhythm section of Mark Lamb and Joey Osbourne. Note also the appearance at The Black Heart in London. What I wouldn’t give to see Acid King in that venue. Hell, looking at this entire run has my newly-unemployed, baby-on-the-way ass daydreaming about following the band on the road for the duration and writing a book about the experience. That would be fun.

Look at these dates and see if you don’t agree:acid king tour poster
