Daily Thompson Announce Fall Tour Plans
One thing I learned this summer is that Daily Thompson are a blast live. The occasion of my finding this out was the third day of Freak Valley 2022 (review here) in Germany, and my goodness. Take your grunge and ’90s rock, strip out *most* of the navel-gazing misery, throw in a bit of bluesy boogie, and golly that’s a righteous live set. The band have been kicking around all summer as they support their earlier-2022 long-player, God of Spinoza (review here), on Noisolution, and as I revisit the album to note their upcoming live dates in September and October — is it just me or is the entirety of the European heavy underground on tour in October? — I can that much more appreciate what I’m hearing through my speakers having experienced it in-person.
Does that mean you shouldn’t listen to the album? Nope. Means you should listen to the album and go to the show.
I’d also say their stuff is pretty deceptive in terms of its overall space. “Cantaloupe Melon,” from the new record, is six and a half minutes long, and it’s not an issue of the band needing to edit themselves down, they just manage really well to bring a feeling of outward-reach into their verses and choruses. It’s not so much “verse here/jam here,” though there’s a bit of jamming to be had on the album, but a thoughtful approach that comes across natural on stage and off. They’re a better band than people know, or at very least, better than I knew before I got to see them live.
In other words, lesson learned. Here’s tour dates from socials:
