Gozu Tour Dates with Baroness Start This Week; European Tour in June
I guess I posted these dates already, except for the last two this Fall in Louisville, Kentucky, and Sacramento, California. To those I’ll also add spots at Desertfest New York 2024 the weekend of Sept. 12-14 and Ripplefest Texas Sept. 19-22, so it’s safe to assume that even after they wrap up the stint they’ll begin this week supporting Baroness, then head to Europe barely a week after they probably get back home from the last show in Des Moines, Boston’s Gozu still won’t be done putting in road time in support of their 2023 album, Remedy (review here). Recall they were out earlier this Spring with The Obsessed and Howling Giant as well.
Why hit it so hard? Well, for one thing they can, and ain’t none of us getting any younger — except perhaps that Joe Grotto on bass — but on the most basic level, they very obviously believe in what they’re doing or tours like this wouldn’t happen. I doubt they’re making bank, even if they’re breaking even, but 10 days on this part of this continent, another 10 over there for that part of that one, it adds up, and if you’re gonna do the thing, do it. If the last three (four? five?) Gozu LPs have taught us anything, isn’t it that Gozu aren’t screwing around? Well, here they are, more than 15 years after their debut, going for it.
So yeah, I posted the dates before. The run with Baroness starts Friday. I may yet put the dates up again before then, just to emphasize the point.
For now:
