Yawning Man Announce Fall European Tour
Let’s assume that by the time Californian desert rock institution Yawning Man head abroad in November for their upcoming tour alongside the adjacent project SoftSun — it’ll be double-duty for guitarist Gary Arce, who is shared between both bands — the split release that had been previously announced will be out. Yawning Man have been on Heavy Psych Sounds for a while now. SoftSun released their debut through Ripple. I don’t know which of those two, if any, is handling that split, but it’s a thing that’s happening and this tour makes a lot of sense tying it together.
Note that 12 of the 23 shows will be in Germany, which seems to continue to be where heavy rock and roll finds the greatest quantity of welcome in Europe, and while Austria, Poland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland and France will also be hit. They’ll cover plenty of ground, is what I’m saying. Yawning Man have, of course, done the Fall festival circuit in Europe before, but that’s not what this is. This tour starts Nov. 18 and finishes Dec. 14, which is well after most fests have had their annual editions. There’s something to be said for going out when the market isn’t saturated.
This was put out on social media while I was traveling. Pardon me if it’s not new-news for you:
