Check out El Perro kind of becoming the ‘Parker Griggs All-Stars,’ and nothing against it. As a fan of headspinning guitar work generally, one can’t help but look at the prospect of Blues Pills‘ Dorian Sorriaux shredding alongside Griggs is plenty enticing, and that’s before you get to Mucho Drums from Great Electric Quest/Sabbath Buddy Sabbath in a rhythm section with Joaquin Escudero of Barcelona’s Prisma Circus while Jeremy Davy — whose pedigree I’ll admit I don’t know — holds down percussion.

If it wasn’t clear before — and it was — the reconstruction of El Perro, whose debut album, Hair Of… (review here), came out just last year, makes it plain that the band is Griggs‘ own. Fair enough. He’s been at this particular dance before, certainly with Radio Moscow if not with El Perro until now, and the volatility is part of the personality of the music. It almost has to be this way or it wouldn’t be what it is.

There are a bunch of fests on the European docket, but I’ll say specifically that I’m looking forward to seeing the band finally at Freak Valley in Germany. That date and all the others follow here, as posted on social media after being put in doubt by the dissolution of the prior lineup:

NEWS!!! Full European tour dates + poster! Plus new EU Lineup!

Europe is just a month away! Happy to announce the full dates and to debut the awesome poster designed by artist Paula Mosica. Thank you Paula! @paulamosica

I’m also very excited to announce the new team of musicians joining me for this tour : Dorian Sorriaux – Guitar (ex Blues Pills), Joaquin Escudero – Bass (ex Prisma circus), Jeremy Davy – Percussion, and Mucho Drums on Drums. They are some of the best jammers from all around the globe :) I have a lot of respect for these musicians and for their talent and I’m honored to have them be part of the El Perro journey! We are going to cook up some great jams!

I’d like to thank the former members for their time with El Perro. I wish them the best in their future endeavors, musically and otherwise.

Excited about this new tour and team of players and I can’t wait to see you all overseas very soon! Dates (#128071#)(#127998#)
