Greenleaf Announce August Tour Dates
This band is basically on fire right now. I was lucky enough to see Greenleaf this past December in Sweden (review here) for the first time in a decade, and what a show. Fully embodied heavy blues with emphasis on both the heavy and the blues, emotive performance from vocalist Arvid Hällagård, signature riffage and off-the-wall stage energy from Tommi Holappa, and all the groove you could hope for in Hans Fröhlich‘s bass and Sebastian Olsson‘s drums. They sound like a band who’ve been dug into album cycle-type productivity for the better part of the last decade (plague notwithstanding), and sure enough they have been. Pro-frickin’-shop, but no less exciting for that professionalism. I await their next record anxiously.
They were just at Esbjerg Fuzztival and Desertfest Belgium, and they’re booked for Lazy Bones in Hamburg at the end of this October (info here), so I don’t expect this will be the last batch of Greenleaf tour dates I post this year, but this August run features stops at Blue Moon Festival in Cottbus as well as Stemweder Open Air, and features New Zealand duo Earth Tongue — check out 2019’s Floating Being (discussed here) in the support slot. That’s a killer context, but anytime you can see Greenleaf is a time you should.
From the social media:
GREENLEAF + EARTH TONGUE TOUR
Friends, we’re absolutely stoked to announce this fabulous summer tour of Sweden’s blues influenced stoner-rock heroes GREENLEAF!
Their Desertfest Berlin performance two weeks ago was INSANE FUN and we can guarantee you that this is a live show you don’t want to miss.
And if this was not enough, you can also look forward to one of the most exciting underground psych/fuzz live acts opening the nights: EARTH TONGUE is a duo from New Zealand and will blast your ears!
