My first thought when I saw the poster below for Hippie Death Cult‘s upcoming tour alongside fellow Pacific Northwestern heavy rockers Kadabra? “Oh man, Europe gets all the cool shit.”

Of course, the good news is I was wrong about that. It’s a US tour. You could argue the occasion that brings the two bands to the Eastern Seaboard is their slated appearances at Desertfest New York — a festival brand that got its start in Europe and still mostly happens there, but not in this case — but the run itself covers much more ground than would a straight-shot to Brooklyn, turn around and go home.

The two bands both operate under the banner of Heavy Psych Sounds, which issued Hippie Death Cult‘s Helichrysum (review here) and Kadabra‘s Umbra (review here, also discussed here) last October, and it’s worth noting that both will have completed 2024 European tours before this September US stint takes place. Kadabra were there April into May, and Hippie Death Cult head abroad later this month (dates here). Lest anyone think they’re not hitting all the stops.

And as regards stops, maybe one of these is yours:
