The Atomic Bitchwax Announce European Shows
Although they and I both hail from my beloved Garden State of New Jersey, it’s been long years since I last saw The Atomic Bitchwax, and since they’ll be headlining the pre-show next Thursday night at the Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn with support from Freedom Hawk, Valley of the Sun and Druids, I can only say that I’m looking forward to it in a special, special way. I would say the same of seeing them at Freak Valley in Germany as well on the newly announced run of European shows that will take them from that fest to Hellfest in France, but, well, next Thursday is first. I can look forward to Freak Valley after that. And I will.
The Neptunian trio continue to support their Scorpio (review here) album on Tee Pee Records, which had the misfortune of being released in Summer 2020. They’ve been out since then in the US, but these dates — and Freak Valley specifically — will mark their first shows abroad since before the pandemic. They have hinted at more dates to come for July and August, though whether that’s in the States or not, I don’t know at this time.
Whenever, wherever you get the opportunity to see them, it is worth taking advantage. Even outside of the fact that they’ve been a band for more than 20 years and nothing lasts forever, it’s a show you’re going to want to talk about afterward.
