1000mods and The Well Announce Spring Tour
Ayo, good bands touring. Greek heavy rock forerunners 1000mods hit the road at last in support of 2020’s Matt Bayles-produced Youth of Dissent (review here), and they’re importing Austin, Texas, trio The Well for support. 1000mods will be at Desertfest in London and Sound of Liberation‘s A Day in Smoke (sit tight, details forthcoming) the next night in April, and then both bands will appear at Desertfest Berlin, Sound of Liberation‘s 17th anniversary party in Munich, and a ton of familiar venues on the circuit like Arena Wien in Vienna and Gaswerk in Winterthur, Switzerland, among others. Ending the tour at the SOL anniversary show — delayed by two years — is a nice touch. No doubt that’ll be a killer time.
The Well‘s last album was 2019’s Death and Consolation (review here), which cemented them as undervalued in my mind. Perhaps bringing that material out again on an extended-feeling European tour will help them hammer the point home. Also curious how 1000mods might go over, considering the somewhat shaky reception the cleaner sound of Youth of Dissent received, and, of course, if either act has new material they’ll take out on the road.
Dates follow, as culled from social media:
1000MODS + THE WELL TOUR 2022
Friends, fasten your seatbelts!
Risen from smokey basements to packed arenas, and from pioneers of the heavy stoner rock movement to one of the most promising European rock acts: 1000mods are coming all the way from Greece this Spring to present their glorious 90’s heavy tunes.
And if that’s not enough, joining from May 28th on: Austin, Texas trio The Well. If you’re fan of Black Sabbath’s fuzzy, doomy riffage, the creepy psychedelia of Syd Barrett mixed with a small pinch of Electric Wizard, this band will make you very, VERY happy.
