Seum Announce French Shows for June
Man, that EP just rules. Montréal’s sans-guitar trio Seum issued their Blueberry Cash three-songer earlier this Spring, and if you ever wanted proof that sludge can bounce and wreck shit, there it is. I hope their production collaboration with Greg Dawson continues after this, because my goodness it’s vicious.
And hey, they’re going to Europe! For four shows, no less. And all in France. I’m not sure what connection there is, other than greater Quebec’s francophone tendencies, but cheers to Seum for DIY’ing their way across the Atlantic Ocean without even a first full-length out — not that they don’t pack an LP’s worth of tonal weight into “Hairy Muff” and “John Flag” and the title-track of Blueberry Cash, mind you. Two basses will help do that, but even so, there’s an extra impulse here to crush.
Safe and happy trails, Seum. Go forth and lay waste:
SEUM, the Montreal bass-only sludge band, will travel to Europe for the first time to promote their newly released EP Blueberry Cash during the Blueberry tour from June 16th to June 20th. Catch them in France:

The EP is made of 2 songs written during the Winterized writing sessions (Blueberry Cash and John Flag) and a cover of Gaspard’s former band Lord Humungus (Hairy Muff). The band took this EP as an opportunity to collaborate for the first time with someone from the outside (the band used to produce all its releases): Greg Dawson from BWC Studios (Sons of Otis, Panzerfaust) did an amazing job on the mix and mastering while the Malaysian Grindcore artist Fadzee Tussock took care of the artwork.
Seum is:
Fred – Drums
Gaspard – Vocals
Piotr – Bass
