Black Moon Cult Announce New Bassist Bronson Mikal Gamble
Ohio heavy psych rock upstarts Black Moon Cult have a handful of dates coming up later this month supporting Hashtronaut. I got to see them last month in NYC at Cosmic Sonic Rendezvous (review here), which it turns out will have been one of if not the last time they played as the trio of guitarist/vocalist Kaleb Riser, drummer Jeff Vandebussche and bassist Kevin Lewis, as the latter split from the band a couple weeks ago and has been replaced on the quick with Bronson Mikal Gamble.
After the shows this month, the band plans to hold off further live activity and begin ot write their second full-length in earnest. Any change in lineup brings a corresponding shift in dynamic, but honestly, I was looking forward to Black Moon Cult‘s next offering, which should tell a good bit about who they are and are going to be as a band, and I still am. These things invariably need sorting sometimes after a band hits the road for real. I hope the writing is productive with Gamble in the band, and that the shows are killer as well. That’s exactly as complex as my feelings are here. To quote my brain, “Duh, well okay.”
From social media:
We are stoked to introduce Bronson Mikal Gamble as the new permanent Bassist of Black Moon Cult! Ohio locals may be familiar with Bronson through his work with Hospital Brute/ Brute Fest of Marion. Bronson came in last week to audition, and his chemistry within our music/ enthusiam/ technical proficiency made him the obvious choice. Beyond excited for the refreshing energy he’ll bring to the mix as we dive into the writing process of our 2nd full length album! He will be joining immediately for all live dates/tours, including our run with Hashtronaut in just a couple weeks! Come out and say “Hi” to the new guy!
