The Golden Grass Announce Mini-Tour; Playing with Deep Purple in NY
Kudos to Brooklyn trio The Golden Grass all around on the company they’re keeping throughout their upcoming eight-date mini-tour, hitting up shows with the likes of Joy, Blue Snaggletooth, Ruby the Hatchet and Attalla as they make their way out to the Midwest and back to the East Coast between July 15 and July 25. Unquestionably the biggest gig of all, however, is the last of the bunch, which finds the three-piece — now a year removed from their self-titled Svart Records debut (review here) — opening for none other than Deep Purple at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY.
The power of positive thinking? Even if you’re not a believer, The Golden Grass make a strong argument.
Tour announcement and appropriate linkery follows, as sent along the PR wire:
THE GOLDEN GRASS TO EMBARK ON JULY 2015 US MINI-TOUR
Brooklyn, NY based heavy rock group THE GOLDEN GRASS to embark on 8-date US mini-tour including shows with DEEP PURPLE, JOY and RUBY THE HATCHET.
Formed in 2013, this Brooklyn power trio quickly signed to Finland’s Svart Records, before even playing their first gig, and have since released 1 full length LP and 2 EPs. These boys are no strangers to the road either, as they’ve extensively toured the Northeast/Midwest US and embarked on 2 European Tours, earning them a devoted cult following, all in less than 2 years.
Their sound majestically encapsulates the timeless feel of 60’s/70’s influence. Taking a nod from legends like JAMES GANG, ALLMAN BROTHERS & GRAND FUNK, the soulful British psych/mod of THE MOVE, THE PRETTY THINGS & THE ACTION, and the heavy umph of BUDGIE, BLUE CHEER & BLACKFOOT to seal the deal, THE GOLDEN GRASS synthesize these influences into a seamless, memorable, and high-energy performance that screams from the past but is a welcome and much needed presence in the now! Hard rock lives! Keep on grassin’!
