It looks like they’ll be Texas-bound at the time, but I gotta say, I wouldn’t mind if Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol showed up on the bill for Desertfest New York either. They’ve been through NYC, which is where I’d be likeliest to catch them, so having not done so is more on me than the band at this point, but yeah. Probably something I should correct, and with their 2024 album, Big Dumb Riffs (review here), as the cause they’re heralding, so much the better.

This round of touring will bring them neither so far north nor so far east in the US, but wherever you are, the arguments for keeping an eye out are manifold, and it’s all the more worth doing so since they tour enough they’re bound to show up on your block sooner or later. Or I guess you could go to Austin City Limits or Levitation in their hometown if you’re feeling fancy/have cash to spend. Point I guess is it’s time I saw this band. If you already have, I’d love to know how that went.

Tour dates and such from the PR wire, and the album stream so you can get a dose:

Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol add Fall US dates to Austin City Limits ACL Fest & Levitation

Austin trio Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol announce additional Fall 2024 US tour dates ahead of their performances at Austin City Limits’ prestigious ACL Fest and Levitation 2024 with The Sword and Pentagram. The band continues domestic dates supporting their new album BIG DUMB RIFFS through the end of the year. See current shows below. Tickets are available HERE: https://taplink.cc/rickshawbillie

The band has also recently joined the roster of Doomstar Bookings for EU & UK touring beginning in Spring 2025.

Hot on the heels of their breakout 5th studio release Doom Wop (2023), Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol returns with Big Dumb Riffs: A whole new variant of the fuzzed out, overdriven, melodic, groovy music they have been making since 2016. While Big Dumb Riffs is decidedly more aggressive and rhythmic, it still retains the overtly melodic feel of Doom Wop. But Leo Lydon’s vocals are considerably more angry and negative (song titles like “1-800-EAT-SHIT” and “Body Bag” should be a clue.)
