Sons of Tonatiuh: New Video, Tour Dates Announced
Some updates are about tours, some updates are about videos, but it takes some real overachievers to give an update that’s about both a video and a tour. Leave it to Atlanta sludge upstarts Sons of Tonatiuh to go the extra mile. Sometimes one just isn’t enough.
Here’s the video for “Consumed,” followed by some into that’s maybe cooled off, but still fresh from the PR wire:
Atlanta-based sludge collective, Sons of Tonatiuh, recently unleashed a video for “Consumed,” the third track off their self-titled debut full-length. The video was produced by Apocalypse Productions on their home turf.
Commented drummer Tim Genius: “Do yourself a favor: When making a video, don’t choose the longest possible song you might have…. unless you plan to test your audience’s attention span. That said, we are pleased to announce that our new video for ‘Consumed’ turned out rather awesome. It’s minimalistic and we like it that way. At the very least, it’s now more clear that a Sons of Tonatiuh show does not involve little children and traditional Mexican folk-dance — not always, anyway. Mission accomplished!”
In related news, the band is set to embark on a stretch of spring and summer shows. Confirmed dates thus far include:
05/13 Drunken Unicorn Atlanta, GA w/ Primate, Javelina
05/27 Memphis Hates You Fest @ Hi Tone Memphis, TN
05/28 TBA Jackson, MS
06/02 529 Atlanta, GA w/ Black Skies, Royal Thunder
06/24 Little Hamilton Nashville, TN w/ Across Tundras
06/25 Gutfest Jackson, TN
The band is also working on new tunes for their as-yet-untitled, sure to be pulverizing next full-length which is tentatively slated to be recorded in Athens, Georgia courtesy of Harvey Milk’s resident drum bludgeoner/knob tweaker, Kyle Spence.
Said Genius: “It’s sure to be our best yet! Rest assured that while Kyle is conjuring the ghost of John Bonham, we will be bringing our best Keith Moon to the fine folks of Athens.”
