Masters of Reality Announce European Tour

Any sort of activity on the part of Masters of Reality is nothing but welcome news, as far as I’m concerned, and as the band have already been confirmed for Desertfest in London and Berlin, Sonic Whip in the Netherlands and Kristonfest in Spain, it’s maybe not such a surprise that they’re announcing tour dates to tie those appearances together, but still, I’ll take it. Do I think it’s going to lead to a full surge of activity on the part of Chris Goss and company, new album blah blah blah? I don’t know. It’s been over a decade now since the last Masters of Reality LP, 2009’s Pine/Cross Dover (review here), and though there have been reissues since then and Goss posted some songs circa 2018, I’m not exactly holding my breath for the album if you know what I mean. 2021 will mark 40 years of existence in one form or another for the band. I’ll take what I can get at this point.

And not that I’ll be fortunate enough to see these shows, or that I’ve ever seen Goss perform, much to my chagrin, but I’m glad they’re happening, and yeah, I hope there are more to come, and a record, and all that stuff. Would be awfully nice.

MASTERS OF REALITY return with a full European tour and festival appearances this May

The legendary desert rock project driven by the unique creative force of guitarist and vocalist Chris Goss, MASTERS OF REALITY, return strong in the spring of 2020 with a series of European shows including festival appearances.

Chris Goss formed MASTERS OF REALITY with Tim Harrington as a two-piece in Syracuse, New York in 1981. He is also widely known for being the cornerstone producer of many behemoths of the Palm Desert scene, including Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Mark Lanegan, Mondo Generator and the Desert Sessions.

The band has released six studio albums and two live albums between 1988 and 2009, punctuated by countless tours across Europe and North America.
