El Perro Announce August European Tour Dates
Cali-based dirt boogie rockers El Perro have been out and about since even before the arrival of their 2022 debut album, Hair Of… (review here), and they’re set to take the show abroad for the first time starting next week, hitting SonicBlast in Portugal to begin a stretch of European tour dates that will carry them through the rest of August and into September as they support the record, win friends, influence people, and all that other self-actualized heavy rock and roll whatnot.
The inevitable sentence this post must contain is about Parker Griggs coming out of Radio Moscow — El Perro drummer Lonnie Blanton also played in that band for a time — but El Perro feels like more than just a step aside from a dude’s main project, and Hair Of… is a rocker’s rocker, so while I’ve seen Griggs play guitar on any number of occasions, I’d still be glad to show up given the opportunity, and if you’re somewhere they’re going to be, whether it’s SonicBlast, Down the Hill in Belgium or any of these other fests, or if you want to be a hero and book one of the open dates (someone call ElbSludge for a Dresden gig!), I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it’s worth your time to be there.
I’ve said my piece. Here’s the tour dates pulled from social media:
