Sasquatch Update on New Album and Tours
The picture here of Sasquatch with producer Andrew Schneider was originally posted in December 2019 to mark the occasion of the band entering the studio to record the follow-up to 2017’s Maneuvers (review here). Their next album has been in the can since shortly thereafter, and it looks like this Spring it will finally see release. Seems worthy of another beverage. Yet untitled, the record last I heard boasted nine new tracks (shh…) and will be no doubt greeted with appropriately feverish anticipation as the trio also look to hit the road to support its awaited arrival. Preorders, according to this new update from the band, are coming soon.
In the meantime, a stretch through the Southwest with High Desert Queen — previously announced, but I’m okay with putting up the dates twice if you are — will mark their return to touring life, and that’s set to begin one week from today. Seems reasonable to think they’ll be in Europe for the Fall festival season, circumstances permitting.
Here’s what they had to say about all of it:
Hey gang,
It has been one massive hellride here the past two years, wouldn’t ya say? We’ve missed you all quite a bit and now that things are opening up, we are getting back on the figurative rock horse. Where to begin….
A NEW ALBUM?
Yes. It’s finally here (almost). This album was originally recorded a few months before the pandemic pooped on the parade and we reluctantly decided to put it on ice for this extended two-year period. We do have confirmation though that shipments of vinyl will soon be leaving the plant! Keep an eye out for pre-sales and a release date targeting late-April/early-May with some heavy touring behind it starting later in the summer. We’ll have some nuggets here soon so you can gauge if it’s a keeper or a clunker. (We hope you do enjoy it, but we know it’s not everyone’s cup of coffee).
SOUTHWEST USA TOUR 2022
Our first order of business is a two-week rodeo to Tejas and back with our Austin dudes, High Desert Queen (Ripple Music). This kicks off one week from now and tickets are onsale. We’d love to see your face, so whadaya say? Save us a seat at the bar? Team High Desert Queen will be giving brisket lessons in the parking lot before each show.

SUMMER FESTIVALS AND TOURS LATER IN THE YEAR
We do have a couple of summer festivals that have been announced both here and abroad. We start things off with Desertfest NYC on Friday, May 13 with Monster Magnet, Corrosion of Conformity, Orange Goblin and a slew of other rad bands (including our dudes in Geezer). Then we move over to Europe the weekend of July 8-10 for Mammothfest in Greece. We have one additional summer European festival and US Festival that is still to be announced… so stay tuned. After we get back from Europe, the current plan is to be on an extended US Tour here through August and then back to Europe for a month in October in support of [the new album].
Sooooo….lots happening in Sasquatchland. You can find some of our more recent merchandise through our website if you happen to need a flask, stocking cap, placemats (LPs), etc. We will be back with more to share just around the corner….but for now…adieu friends!
