King Buffalo Announce UK Tour
No question King Buffalo are among the US’ foremost heavy psychedelic rock bands. I’ll entertain suggestions if you have any for others to top them, but mostly because I can’t think of any names off the top of my head. If you were lucky enough to see them out with Parks from All Them Witches supporting on their recent tour, kudos. I caught them in Brooklyn (review here) at the start of the tour with Sun Voyager on the bill. The band they’ve become is, frankly, astonishing.
I could go on at some length with plaudits for their chemistry, aural heft and dynamic — sorry, but talking specifically about Dan Reynolds‘ basswork requires more space than the internet can hold — but I’ll spare you in the name of their likely being more to come from them in terms of summer tour dates. Note that these shows are booked with Route One (run by Ben Ward of Orange Goblin), Desertscene London, who do Desertfest London, and the esteemed Sound of Liberation, whose 20th anniversary party King Buffalo will also play in June, and the band have also been confirmed for Croatia’s Bear Stone Festival — see you there — and the long-running Stoned From the Underground in Germany on the first two weekends in July. To me this says a significant summer tour announcement is incoming.
You know what I’d like to go with it? Word of an album. King Buffalo don’t owe anybody anything after the ‘Pandemic Trilogy,’ but they’re not ones to rest on laurels, and if the December single “Balrog” was a herald, I’m ready for what’s coming. Fingers crossed for sometime soon.
And King Buffalo supported by The Atomic Bitchwax rules. Great pairing. From socials:
