Rope Trick Announce Spring Live Plans
As is their wont, Philadelphia experimental psych heads Rope Trick have lined up a slew of Northeast regional shows between now and the I-swear-it’s-going-to-happen-at-some-point beginning of summer. It’s a tour comprised of weekenders and nights out of town, and will take them as far as Richmond, Youngstown and Boston, so they’re covering a decent amount of ground, and you an see between the likes of Clamfight, Sinister Haze, Coma Hole, Almost Honest and the legends Stinking Lizaveta that they’ll be keeping sound company along the way.
They did some traveling as well around the 2024 release of their latest EP, Red Tide, which you can stream below, and I haven’t heard anything about new music from them, but either way, these will be good, weird gigs, and that’s the kind I like best.
Dates came down the PR wire:
ROPE TRICK, the heavy psych duo from Philadelphia, is poised once again to tear a new rift in the fabric of the Northeast US, bringing their acid-fried cosmic rock to 14 shows in 9 states, ranging from Boston to Pittsburgh to Richmond.
ROPE TRICK burst out with the acclaimed “Red Tide” EP in 2024, and rumour has it: they’ve just finished recording their first long playing studio album. Indy Shome (guitar/vocal) and Nate Totushek (drums) have been musical co-conspirators since 2010, including in QUEEN ELEPHANTINE. The pair has evolved a symbiotic sound that is so much more than the sum of its parts. The synergy is electric. The chemistry is explosive.
