Big Business Announce UK & European Tour Dates
A full European tour from Los Angeles two-piece Big Business hasn’t necessarily been unexpected. They were announced back in December as taking part in Roadburn 2017 (info here) in the Netherlands, and other dates have been trickling out along the way, but it’s good to see it’s all actually happening around a pretty significant month-long run that finds them supporting last year’s Command Your Weather album, which was released by Joyful Noise. They’ll start off in the UK and be joined by Whores for the duration, playing two sets at Droneburg Festival the weekend before the aforementioned Roadburn and making their way west toward Iberia before looping back to finish in Paris, from whence they’ll no doubt catch a flight at Charles de Gaulle off to their next adventure.
And by adventure, I probably mean tour. Dudes tour a lot. That’s my big insight on Big Business. Thanks for reading The Obelisk.

Fans will already know Jared Warren and Coady Willis are the masters of fusing torrentially heavy sonics and rumbling bellows with an undeniable groove that forever dazzles listeners and spectators alike. The pair demonstrate that the distorted low-end can be fun and joyous without compromising on the exceedingly behemoth and frantic riffs that oozes out.
Recorded in Joshua Tree, CA, Command Your Weather sees Big Business return to its original line-up of Jared Warren and Coady Willis. Recorded by Dave Curran of Unsane/Pigs (who has worked on Big Business’ previous output), the album was co-released via the band’s own label Gold Metal Records alongside Joyful Noise Recordings.
Founded in 2003 in Seattle, WA. Big Business has spent the last 13 years touring the world and making records including the full-lengths Head for the Shallow (2005), Here Come the Waterworks (2007), Mind the Drift (2009) and 2013’s Battlefields Forever – the first full-length LP they released on their Gold Metal Records label, with the former all released via Hydra Head. In 2006 Jared and Coady joined forces with the Melvins, whereby they have been an integral part of the family and an autonomous two-unit band ever since. In recent years, the duo have also toured extensively alongside Mastodon and Clutch.
