Weedeater Announce December Tour Dates; Out with C.O.C. & Crowbar in Jan./Feb.
You know the drill by now. Weedeater, touring. Isn’t that just kind of the state of things at this point? Already announced as taking part in a significant chunk of Corrosion of Conformity‘s upcoming run alongside Crowbar and Mothership in January and February, the band has newly unveiled a quickie stint in December that one assumes they’re undertaking in order to help with the expense of holiday shopping? They’re not making their way to a fest or anything, but in all seriousness, I think touring is how Weedeater eat (both weed and actual food, which may or may not contain more weed) at this point, so yeah, they’re sneaking in a few more dates before 2018 ends. This year has already seen them in Europe and across the US, found them hit with tragedy at the passing of drummer Carlos Denogean and beheld their apparent unstoppability in the wake of that. Why wouldn’t they hit the road again for a sweep up to Philly? Maybe they’re big Gritty fans. I know I am.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before — and yes, you have — but here are some Weedeater tour dates from the PR wire:
WEEDEATER announce extensive US tour
Notorious southern metal outfit WEEDEATER have announced an extensive US tour. The trio will undertake a short run of East Coast headline dates in December before joining CORROSION OF CONFORMITY on January 19 to begin a US Tour. A full list of confirmed dates can be found below.
All of WEEDEATER’s albums are now available at fine stores nationwide and online at the WEEDEATER Bandcamp page.
WEEDEATER was formed by front-man/bassist “Dixie” Dave Collins. Following the release of their 2001 debut ‘…And Justice For Y’All’, WEEDEATER immediately established themselves as a force in the U.S. tour circuit and quickly gained notoriety in the American metal scene. In the time since, the band have released three critically-acclaimed albums: ‘Sixteen Tons’ (2002), ‘God Luck And Good Speed’ (2007), and ‘Jason… The Dragon’ (2011), and toured around the world with the likes of DOWN, SAINT VITUS, HIGH ON FIRE, and THE MELVINS, HANK III, EARTH, SUNN O))) and more. The band has played prestigious festivals such as Maryland Deathfest, Hopscotch Festival, Stoned From The Underground, Asymmetry Festival, Roadburn Festival, Hellfest, and many more.
