Wo Fat Announce European Tour Dates
The May 6 release date for Wo Fat‘s new album, The Singularity (review here), has come and gone, and so it’s time for the band to head out to herald the cause. Recall that the Texan forerunners-o’-riff — and considering Texas, that’s saying something — announced in March that they’d revamped their lineup, bringing in Matt Watkins on second guitar (he’d previously played on their first record) and new bassist Patrick Smith alongside founding mainstays Michael Walter (drums) and Kent Stump (guitar/vocals; you remember him, he probably mastered your album). This will be the first tour undertaken by this incarnation of the group, already in a way moving forward from The Singularity toward some unknown future.
Booked by Sound of Liberation, who posted the following announcement, the run isn’t the longest we’ve seen of US bands returning to Euro shores, but with slots at Rock im Wald, Lake on Fire and a big old mystery spot between Denmark and the Netherlands on Aug. 1 — I’m sure there’s something happening that day — it’s nothing if not efficient in covering a good amount of ground. Note the Salzburg date with Samavayo supporting as well.

WO FAT EUROPE 2022
Dear friends,
we’re happy to announce that Texas’ riff dealers Wo Fat return to Europe with a NEW ALBUM this summer!
A crushingly heavy stoner rock band from Dallas, Texas, Wo Fat are a power trio whose music harks back to the fuzzy punch of ’70s hard rock, with an added dash of prog rock adventure, a fistful of amped-up boogie, and some contemporary metal muscle for seasoning.
