After seeing their slated Spring tour with Stoned Jesus canceled on account of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Berlin-based trio Samavayo will this weekend begin a course of summer live shows including dates with Witch and Wo Fat that takes them into August, culminating with an appearance at the esteemed SonicBlast Festival in Portugal. They go, of course, in support of March’s Pāyān (review here), the band’s seventh and most expansive album yet. It’s encouraging as well to read that there’s a Fall run in the works with further festivalia, and as the band is allied with Sound of Liberation, that puts sights on events like Keep it Low, Up in Smoke, Desertfest Belgium (x2), etc. One way or the other, they’ll be busy, and fair enough. The album deserves the support.

The mention of a first US tour below is a new one to me and certainly has my eyebrows up. Could be around an appearance at Ripplefest Texas next summer? That’s just speculation, but if they’re looking to get visas, one hopes they’ve already started. Guys, if you need one of those letters that says you’re an internationally recognized act, let me know. That’s easy case to make.

From the PR wire:

SAMAVAYO PĀYĀN SUMMER TOUR 2022

We are very happy to announce our upcoming summer tour including shows with the legends WITCH and Wo Fat. After the cancellation of our April Tour with Stoned Jesus we are looking forward to finally presenting our new album PĀYĀN.

We had rad experiences at Desertfest Berlin and the Sound of Liberation Party in Munich this year but it’s always something different to play a tour with consecutive shows!

It wasn’t easy to find the gaps for us as everyone has noticed a lot is going on concerning club shows and festivals in Europe, that is why we want to thank our booking agency Sound of Liberation for doing a great job to help us get back on track!

25.6. Wiesbaden (D) – Sound of Liberation Party
16.7. Passau (D) – Rosa Laub Festival
29.7. Münster (D) – Rare Guitar
30.7. Schwalbach Open Air (D)
31.7. tba (D)

What’s next?

Meanwhile we are planning a tour across Europe for November this year. There will be some Festival appearances in September and October too.

After Afghan Sky, Transcend! Exceed! and Talagh we are working on two more videos of our new album PĀYĀN!

Ripple Music US

While we are working on a first tour in the US for 2023 we have launched a cooperation with Ripple Music and our last 3 albums are now available at the Ripple US Store https://ripplemusic.bigcartel.com/product/samavayo-various-vinyl-releases-payan-dakota-vatan

This happens in a time where prices of international shipping of a few vinyls from Germany will be increased from July 1st on and since there are many buyers and supporters for us in the US (since Dakota) we are happy to have this option for them!
