Beehoover UK Tour Starts Sept. 15
Posted in Whathaveyou on September 5th, 2016 by JJ Koczan
German weirdo two-piece Beehoover are heading back to the UK this month to support their 2016 release, Primitive Powers. The band, who issued four full-lengths through Exile on Mainstream, curiously self-issued this fifth outing back in February — this news post is the first I’m hearing of the album’s existence — and the reason I say it’s curious is because the label was still so very into the band when it issued 2013’s The Devil and His Footmen (review here), so I can’t help but wonder what happened there. Either way, the eight-tracker can be streamed in full below, in case you, like me, would like to get caught up.
Beehoover — of whom Orange Goblin frontman Ben Ward recently said, “make sure you check them out!,” which is about as much of as endorsement as I’d think anything happening of any sort would need in the UK — also toured Britain early in 2014 for the last record, so it would seem they got a good enough response to head back. They’ll be at Snuff’est on Sept. 17, and that and the other dates follow here, presented by Snuff Lane:
Beehoover are coming back to the UK!
Beehoover have made great efforts to defy the laws of heavy rock and to create an awkward hotchpotch of complex, unusual, groovy, unpredictable and naive noise. If you missed the insane duo last time and if you are a fan of the Melvins, Tool, No Means No or Primus, be sure to catch them this September at your favourite live club.
And prepare to add a new word to your vocabulary for what’s to be witnessed: beehooveresque.
