Giöbia Announce Fall Tour Dates; Split w/ The Cosmic Dead Out Soon
Arriving just in time for your freaked-out Halloween, the new split between Italy’s Giöbia and Scotland’s The Cosmic Dead bears the cumbersome title The Intergalactic Connection: Exploring the Sideral Remote Hyperspace. It’s out Oct. 29 through Heavy Psych Sounds and I’ll be streaming it on Oct. 26 (shh…), but ahead of that, here’s more good news in that Giöbia are returning to playing live at a number of indoor shows and even a festival in Germany in December. Hey folks, baby steps, you know?
I’m not actually sure how much of their Spring 2020 tour the band played supporting their then-just-released LP Plasmatic Idol, but they were headed out right as the Covid-19 pandemic was laying waste to their home country, and their social media has any number of “sorry to cancel”-type posts. Obviously out of their control. In any case, they’re a bunch of weirdos and accordingly, I’m glad to see them get back out on the road and do the thing. One imagines and hopes that more performances will be scheduled for 2022. Not trying to jinx anything so I’ll leave it at that.
From the internets:
Friends we are super excited to announce the first indoor concerts for this fall.

The mystical day 60s rock met neo-psych and krautrock, mixing up to the point of losing consciousness of their own essence in an overwhelming and incessant soundtrack with an unmistakable Italian taste, GIÖBIA’s acid rock was born. In a vortex that leaves no way out, the unique melodies of this quartet take the listener into a world where the boundaries of reality are no longer defined and anything can ever happen.
