By the time they embark in January on this newly-announced stretch of Midwestern and East Coastern touring, Rochester, New York, heavy psychedelic forerunners King Buffalo will have already on doubt reaped a slew of album-of-the-year-type praise for their work on their latest long-player, Regenerator (review here), and who would argue? Jerks, maybe. But those jerks are jerks, so whatever.

Regenerator, the third installment in the band’s pandemic-era trilogy behind 2021’s Acheron (review here) and The Burden of Restlessness (review here), is a culmination of everything the band have done to-date, and it has been widely hailed as a landmark for a group whose influence is already beginning to be felt in the work of others. No, that is not likely to stop as they continue to go town-to-town spreading their own take on prog-informed heavy psych, or as they move into 2023 with the inevitable announcement of European tour dates to follow-up on recent confirmations of performances at Desertfest Berlin and Freak Valley Festival. Let’s see… DF Berlin happens May 19-21, and Freak Valley happens June 8-10, so if they start at the one and end at the other, that’s the better part of a month on the road abroad. No guarantee it won’t be more than that by the time the tour is announced, and I have no doubt there are more fests as a part of it as well. This is a band everybody (rightly) wants a piece of right now, and that’s something they’ve earned no matter how you want to look at it.

They’re out with REZN and The Swell Fellas, at least for some shows, and still wrapping their Fall run in the meantime:
