Samsara Blues Experiment Fifth Anniversary Tour Underway Now
Last Friday, Samsara Blues Experiment began their fifth anniversary tour. It’s also the four-piece’s first stint in support of their new album, Waiting for the Flood (review here). That’s particularly noteworthy first because the record is awesome — there, I just saved you reading that whole review — and second, because they’ve also made the whole thing available for stream, download, etc., through Bandcamp. I grabbed the player for that and tacked it down under the tour dates below in case you haven’t yet had a chance to listen, because it’s a winner and I dig it and hope you will as well.
Way back in 2009 (maybe it was late 2008), these guys came to the West Coast of the US for a tour. I keep hoping they get to come back, and when they do they hit the East, but until then at least they’re getting out in Europe on the regular. Sound of Liberation sent this update down the PR wire:

I saw Kadavar here in Haarlem last night. Honestly, I don’t see what the fuss is about. It was actually pretty boring. They don’t seem to have enough imagination to mix it up. Everything they play is flat out. They couldn’t hold a candle to Samsara Blues Experiment. The new album seems to be another killer. Now I can finally stop listening to Rockpalast for a while.
