Monolord Announce Tour Dates Between Psycho Las Vegas and Muddy Roots Music Festival
Swedish kingpins o’ riff Monolord are headed back to US shores this summer. Following up on their run earlier this year with fellow Gothenburgers Firebreather, the three-piece will be on hand to begin a relatively brief stint at Psycho Las Vegas, making their way to the East Coast for a few dates before looping out to Chicago for Scorched Tundra and finishing at Muddy Roots in Tennessee. Three distinct festivals with three distinct vibes, and no doubt the trio will find welcome as they make their way to all of in continued celebration of last year’s Your Time to Shine (review here).
I’ve been starting to hear more and more bands who sound like Monolord, and it’s becoming interesting to note what that means in terms of a kind of riffing and nodding groove. They have a signature, despite consistently growing from one album to the next. They’ve already put years of road time in to get to this point, and their influence only seems to keep spreading like the fuzz tsunami it is.
They’ll be out with Dorthia Cottrell of Windhand. Dates follow, courtesy of the PR wire:

MONOLORD Comment:
“Now that touring is possible again it feels equally inspiring and unreal to be able to play live for all of you again. To say that we’re stoked to get back to the US for a second round after the world opened up again would be an understatement. See you in August, let’s do this!”
