Thunderchief Announce Midwestern Tour
Well, that’s a DIY underground tour right there, with Thunderchief heading out from their Richmond home base in order to hit up the Midwest and venues with words like Tavern, bar, pub and, more curiously, skatepark, in their names. The tour runs as far west as Lincoln, Nebraska, and is essentially a loop that will carry the duo of Rik Surly and Erik Larson back toward home by the finish, going in support of their Dekk Meg… release, which compiled a year’s worth of covers released as singles. With one day off on a 16-show stint, one would not accuse them of taking it easy on themselves.
Safe travels to them and a hearty word to bring earplugs if you’re headed out to any of the shows. One doesn’t expect they’ll take it easy on their audience’s hearing either.
The below comes from the PR wire, and I’m pretty sure it’s the first time I’ve ever seen anyone’s anything referred to as a “powerfuck.” To wit:
THUNDERCHIEF Goes to Nebraska
Richmond, VA’s very own 2-piece powerfuck, THUNDERCHIEF, is heading West in July—to the Midwest, that is. The band will be bouncing around the Heartland, delivering a hodgepodge of songs from “Witchduck EP”, “No Sufferance For Thy Fools”, “Synanthrope”, and their latest release on ASR Records, “Dekk Meg…”, and maybe some new material if time allows.
The tour begins in Harrisonburg, VA, and meanders thru a variety of venues, skateparks & DIY spots, sharing space with a slew of killer bands, including Ommnus, Slow Attack, Crack Mountain, Long Cold Stare, Some Kind of Nightmare, and on the final show of the tour, the band finds themselves in direct support of LIE HEAVY’s Record release show (featuring Karl Agell & crew)
This will be THUNDERCHIEF’s first venture to the Midwest, and the band couldn’t be more excited to celebrate July 4 week in the nation’s Breadbasket!
