Lo-Pan and Gozu Team up for Shows Leading to Eye of the Stoned Goat III

They’re the titans of tone! The rulers of riffs! The fugelmen of fuzz! Okay, you get the point, which is that Gozu and Lo-Pan teaming up for a tour is a very, very cool thing and if you’re lucky enough to be in an area where one of these four July shows is happening, then you’re probably gonna want to endeavor to show up. Gozu at that point will still be riding high on the release of The Fury of a Patient Man, and Lo-Pan — who were already playing new material late last year — should only have more of it by now with the rare time they’ve spent off the road, so all the better to get an advance glimpse at their next album.

It’s four-nights-only that the labelmates and soulful forerunners will be teamed up, and they’re playing in Worcester, Massachusetts, Manchester, New Hampshire and Boston on their way to join their Small Stone brethren in Supermachine and Lord Fowl, as well as Borracho, Black Black Black, Wasted Theory, Wizard Eye and Geezer at The Eye of the Stoned Goat 3 at The Acheron in Brooklyn. More on that here.

Rumor has it — and by rumor I mean the interview I did a couple weeks back with Gozu guitarist/vocalist Marc Gaffney that I haven’t had time to transcribe yet — that Lo-Pan singer Jeff Martin was recently invited to collaborate with Gozu on a track for the vinyl release of The Fury of a Patient Man, which given the sheer pipes involved is bound to improve the quality of life of anyone who hears it once it comes out. Very much looking forward to that.

Here’s the poster and the dates for the Lo-Pan/Gozu, with more info coming soon:

If that’s not enough to get your rock glands in a tizzy, Gozu are also opening for Fu Manchu (who are playing The Action is Go front to back) this coming week at The Sinclair in Cambridge. More on that here. Lo-Pan play April 20 at Red Sun‘s 10th anniversary show, as reported here the other day. Rock and roll abounds. Let’s make some eggs:
