King Buffalo Announce US Tour
King Buffalo have, as I understand it, spent much of the last several months engaged in the process of building their own studio in their hometown of Rochester, New York. They’re no strangers to self-recording, and the prospect of their having a dedicated facility for that purpose (and maybe even tracking releases for other artists/bands) is an exciting one, but sometimes you gotta get out. They’ve got slots confirmed at Wallflower Fest in Vermont and Bumbershoot in Seattle within a week’s span as August gives over to September, and in November and December, the three-piece will follow that with stints along the East and West Coasts of the US, plus points in between.
The pairing with Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol is notable — I’m only sorry they won’t hit Asbury Park together, as that would be a show to see — but it is assuring to see King Buffalo hitting the road, and if that studio is actually done at this point, I wouldn’t be shocked if they had a new release at some level of ‘in the works’ as well. They remain one of the heavy underground’s most crucial bands, realizing potential as they continue to offer the promise of future exploration.
