Pontiak to Tour Canada Supporting Sleep
As far as opening gigs go, supporting Sleep is about as good as it gets, at least for heavy shows. Virginian three-piece Pontiak will head out this September with the stoner metal kingpins on a Canadian run, following up on a gig tonight — yes, this very evening — in RVA alongside Dead Meadow. Also not too shabby a spot to land.
Pontiak‘s most recent album is 2017’s Dialectic of Ignorance (review here), which took the lessons of classic heavy to heart and built an earnest vibe therefrom without losing a kind of modern harmonized chic. Cool record from a cool band playing a cool tour. Sounds pretty cool, right? It is!
The PR wire has dates:
Powerhouse psych trio Pontiak touring Canada with Sleep this September
Pontiak’s Dialectic of Ignorance out now
This September, powerhouse psych trio Pontiak will be touring throughout Canada with stoner rock outfit Sleep. Ahead of the tour, the Pontiak brothers will also be playing with Dead Meadow in Richmond on May 28th.
In 2017, Pontiak released their latest collection of acid-scorched guitar workouts Dialectic of Ignorance, an album that takes the trio’s colossal riffing into heady new territory. Live, the music takes on a new dimension, free to reach even deeper out into the cosmos. Snaking melodies and irresistible grooves erupt from the brother’s instruments like billowing plumes of psychedelic smoke, expanding to fill the space, with the Carney brothers’ shimmering vocal harmonies providing an anchor through the trip.
