-(16)- Announce December East Coast Shows w/ False Gods
I have to think that if the Saint Vitus Bar still existed in its prior incarnation, the Dec. 8 NYC date below for 16‘s upcoming quickie Northeastern run wouldn’t be TBA. Unless that’s something special, like a fest or something, and it’s going to be revealed as the impetus for the tour. I don’t by any means know everything that happens in New York, and 16 can play on a death metal bill or a stoner rock bill and plenty in between and that opens up even more options for them in general, but yeah, I think maybe New York just doesn’t have that epicenter, anchor venue anymore as a place that knows, loves and values heavy fare, and the city is weaker for it, as many clubs as there still are out there. Maybe there’s a thing that day, maybe there isn’t. I don’t know. You guys wanna come play Jersey? We could find a spot I’m sure someplace.
16 come east in supporting Into Dust (review here), which came out in 2022 on Relapse and is the latest in a string of crater-worthy thuds the Los Angeles-based noise-sludgers have offered through the label. They’ll be out with False Gods, who are a fitting Eastern Seaboard complement to 16‘s onslaught, and I have no doubt that as much impact as Wallingford, CT’s Cherry Street Station has taken over the years — that place has hosted heavy enough shit that you’d want to check the structural integrity of the building’s foundation — it will be a rad spot to be bludgeoned by this pairing. All of these shows are at minimum an hour from me, and the closest is the currently theoretical one, but a ride to Bensalem might be in order, depending on how that NYC date pans out. Fingers crossed there.

It’s Broken Goblet Brewing in Bensalem,PA
Just to clarify.
Awesome for these guys to be on the east coast.
Nothing will ever fully replace Vitus, but the Meadows in East Williamsburg is steadily becoming a solid venue for metal. I’ve seen Slift, Spectral Voice, and SUMAC there this year, all great shows.
