Alabama Thunderpussy Announce December Shows
Next week, Alabama Thunderpussy travel abroad for their first run of European touring since the album cycle for 2007’s Open Fire, which if you missed the year there I’ll just tell you was so long ago this site didn’t even exist yet, and I can barely remember fuggin’ anything before The Obelisk got going. You mean I wasn’t doing this when I was 10? Why the hell not?
To follow-up on this, the favored sons of Riffmond, Virginia, are today putting out word that after they return from the two-week stint on the continent — where they’ll play Up in Smoke, Into the Void, Keep it Low and more besides — they’ll do a three-show run of shows in North Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana. You can see the dates below, but I’ll point out that the lineups for all three shows are pretty stellar. Having been fortunate enough to see ATP and Suplecs sharing a stage this past December, I’ll recommend the experience without reservation. Those two work well together and have for some time. Former labelmates, you know, in the Man’s Ruin days.
But let us not wax nostalgic, for this is rock and roll and nobody has time for that shit — except, apparently, everybody — the real question here is whether or not Alabama Thunderpussy are going to get back to the studio end of their business (which is rockin’) and do another record. Do I know? Nope. Do I want to hazard a guess? Not particularly. Prolific as guitarist Erik Larson (also drums in Thunderchief, Avail, multi-instrumentalist/vocalist for solo stuff, guitar hither and yon and so forth) is, there’s more to the band doing another album than just that. Maybe they’ll get there, maybe they won’t. In the meantime, they’ll share stages with Lie Heavy, Crystal Spiders, Order of the Owl, Suplecs, Insomniac and Total Hell, and a ton more in Europe beforehand. If, as a group, you’re trying to get your feet under you, keeping good company is always a way to go.
Dates magically appeared out of the ether on the PR wire, which happens from time to time. Also be sure to check out ATP moving into the age of social media ‘content creation’ below, just for fun:
