Samsara Blues Experiment Announce South American Tour

We’ve been getting info in drips and drabs about a resurgence from Berlin heavy psych explorers Samsara Blues Experiment. In October came word of the writing being completed for a fourth album, to be recorded in 2017. Then followed confirmations for Desertfest London and Berlin at the end of April, as well as the Riff Ritual Fest in Barcelona the week before. I’d been kind of assuming the album, whenever it’s made and whatever it’s called, would be out by then. I’m hearing word of a tour mostly through Central Europe to take place as well, perhaps in Spring or Summer, but what we know for sure is that before they hit the road for the aforementioned fests, they’ll travel to Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay for their first ever run in South America this coming March.

Will they have a new album in tow for the merch table? Can you even get vinyl pressed that fast? I guess we’ll find out, but I’m intrigued as to the timing on this one. For what it’s worth, my general opinion on the prospect of new Samsara Blues Experiment is “the sooner the better,” but that’s basically been the case since Waiting for the Flood (review here) came out in 2013.

The South American shows, as if it’s even a question at this point, are presented by Abraxas Events. Below you’ll find the poster (gorgeous), dates and some comment from Samsara Blues Experiment guitarist/vocalist Christian Peters on how the tour came together:

Christian Peters on touring South America:

“We are looking much forward to this tour, not only because it will be our first time in South America but because we planned this for very long. I have met Felipe Toscano before he even had a clearer idea he would run Abraxas Booking, and we were supposed to be the first band he wanted to bring to Brasil — back then, basically a fan of our music. Things didn’t work out earlier for us, while in the meantime, in the last years he had Radio Moscow, The Flying Eyes and many others over there and built a real solid booking network… Well, as I said, we are much excited that this is finally happening.”

Good morning South America!

It’s a-happening-thing. We’re coming to Chile, Uruguay, Argentina and Brasil in March 2017!
