Earthless Announce Jan./Feb. Tour Dates
It doesn’t seem crazy to think that this West Coast tour might either precede or coincide with the release of the next Earthless album, though one should note as well that it comes just a couple weeks after Nuclear Blast will reissue the band’s first three records, aka the Tee Pee era and then some. Those LPs are landmarks, and Earthless have an influence emanating from their home base in San Diego and spanning across continents to prove it, but the band’s primary impact has always been live, so as much as one looks forward to them following up 2018’s Black Heaven (review here), the fact that they’re set to embark on their first tour in over two years — madness, yes — is only good news as well.
So this is the West Coast. East Coast to follow? Europe? Hell if I know. But if this is the band testing the waters, it seems like a fair look at the shape of touring to come at least for the next few years. More short runs rather than full-month stretches, hit spots, then go back home, rather than tempt fate as regards plague contraction. At least that makes sense to me, but I’m a guy saying this who thus far has failed to leave the house and return to an indoor show. Sad.
