Morass of Molasses Announce UK Fall Tour Dates for 10th Anniversary
Reading, UK, heavy rockers Morass of Molasses released End All We Know (review here) earlier this year through Ripple Music and with it not only reaffirmed the trio as rock songwriters, but saw them expand their sound as well into psychedelic and progressive styles. Their third LP, the band — baritone guitarist/vocalist Bones Huse, bassist Phil Williams and drummer Raj Puni — took to the road for 11 dates in the UK this past Spring to support, and next month, they have three sets of weekender gigs booked to mark their 10th anniversary as a group.
Morass of Molasses signed to Ripple last year following the success of 2019’s The Ties That Bind (review here), and they returned to Desertfest London for the 2023 edition this past May, having played there previously in 2018. Their 2017 debut, These Paths We Tread, arrived after 2015’s So Flows Our Fate EP, and all the while — a couple years in there notwithstanding — they’ve kept a steady pace of live work, and they’re obviously set to keep that up. I don’t know what’s in the works for next year yet, but they’re a staple of the UK’s various heavyfests, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them listed on a few more bills as we head toward the New Year. A band driven by passion keeps going. It’s like the fourth law of motion.
Congrats to Morass of Molasses on 10 years. Nothing to sneeze at, especially in an underground as crowded as England’s. The band posted the following on their socials:
MORASS OF MOLASSES – **AUTUMN TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT**
A little over 10 years ago, three hairy blokes got together, and started making some pretty filthy riffs. One EP, and three albums later, we are still going strong, and continue to enjoy sharing our music with everyone. There have been ups and downs along the way, but ultimately we still love what we do, and want to keep pushing ourselves to create.
This short Autumn Tour honours that sentiment, and in a way is a commitment to keep on writing songs that both challenge us as musicians, and those who choose to come along for the ride.
Expect new material, but the same zest for Life we always have on stage. Come join us.
