Bongzilla Announce ‘Dabbing Westward’ Tour Dates
Fuck. I don’t generally put much credence into tour names. Some are clever, some aren’t. Some are the record, some don’t exist and thereby prove that none really need to. You generally remember when you saw a band by the album either way, right? Is that just me? On the occasion I remember a thing?
But hell’s bells, ‘Dabbing Westward’ is a good name for Bongzilla‘s upcoming US shows. Not only is it the reference to the band Stabbing Westward, but it’s a West Coast run, and the upcoming album is called Dab City. Preceded by a just-completed East Coast run and a starts-tomorrow European run, the West Coast tour will put Bongzilla in the company of Washington heavy psych riffers Kadabra, whose record you should hear if you didn’t because it was frickin’ excellent. Maybe they’ll put out another one. That’d be sweet, even if it doesn’t have ‘dab’ in the title.
I kind of put the below together from social media, so I’ll cite that, even if it was multiple posts. Nonetheless:
Here’s something for US fans to put in their pipes while we fly across the pond. See you out west (where the grass really is greener) this Summer with our labelmates Kadabra.
