Mos Generator Announce Headlining Dates, Shadowlands Recording Plans
Port Orchard, Washington, heavy rock specialists Mos Generator are currently wrapping up a round of dates in Europe supporting Saint Vitus. Not a bad gig, but then neither was Mos Generator guitarist/vocalist Tony Reed producing the doom legends’ last album, so there you go. Hopefully he does the next one as well, and by that I also mean hopefully there’s a next one.
As regards Reed‘s own band, there seems perpetually to be a “next one.” Dude does not sit still, and in drummer Jono Garrett and bassist Sean Booth, he’s got a rhythm section that seems to have no trouble keeping up with these existential tempo shifts. So the Vitus tour is almost done. Then Mos Generator have a few headlining dates lined up that carry them into early next month. They come home for a couple days, maybe — maybe — get over the jetlag, and then head out supporting Fu Manchu on the West Coast for what’s gotta be one of the flight-booking-worthiest pairings I’ve heard of this year.
After that? Oh, how about putting the finishing touches on their next album, which I’m happy to reveal today will be titled Shadowlands and out in 2018? Sounds badass all the way around, right? That’s because it is. Here’s the latest from the band, direct update from Reed, dates and all:
We are going to use the off dates to re-record some of the songs for our next album “Shadowlands”. I figure after 7 weeks on the road we will be able to better capture the energy of some of the songs we recorded earlier this year. Also, I’ve been writing on the road so we will be able to work some of those ideas out for possible inclusion as well.
