Brooklyn’s Kings Destroy will head to Europe this fall. The genre-defiant five-piece will head overseas with Chicago’s The Skull for the first time since the release of their 2015 self-titled third album (review here), which was released by War Crime Recordings, who, in the interest of full disclosure, also pressed up my book. I’ll confess […]
The Obelisk All-Dayer tickets I wasn’t there to see it, of course, but I happen to know that this particular show has become something of a legend within Kings Destroy. It was the Getaway Rockfestival in Sweden, part of their 2012 European tour. They’d wind up hanging out with Weedeater — and by hanging out […]
Buy Tickets Here The first-ever The Obelisk All-Dayer is set for Aug. 20, 2016, at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, NY. So far the announced lineup includes Mars Red Sky for their first East Coast appearance, Snail for their first East Coast appearance, Ohio’s EYE supporting their new album, Funeral Horse for their first East […]
The bill pushed the envelope of ridiculous. As part of their ongoing reunion, Wisconsin sludgers Bongzilla have been on tour since late February with nomadic thrashers Black Cobra and only-slightly-less-nomadic heavy rockers Lo-Pan. They met up with New York’s Kings Destroy — freshly back from their Australian run with Radio Moscow — at SXSW last […]

Show is this Saturday, April 2, at the all-caps ONCE Ballroom in Somerville, Massachusetts, and it’s a stop on the second full-US reunion run from Wisconsin sludge megastoners Bongzilla. They hit Massachusetts for the second time since getting back together, having rolled through nearby Allston with Spirit Caravan, Dirty […]
Reunited Wisconsin sludgers Bongzilla will look to bring their reunion to another level in 2016. After already hitting the road hard this year, the trio are set to go coast-to-coast beginning at the end of February. In the support slots are Black Cobra, who’ll have a new record out by then (info here), and Lo-Pan, as well as Kings […]
I’ve been invited on this tour. The way I look at it, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Australia being about as far away from where I live as you can get and still be on the same planet, it’s always held a fascination for me — New Zealand very much the same — and to be […]
I was at this show. The bill was Elder, Kings Destroy, Apostle of Solitude and Clamfight, and it was May 5 of this year at the Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn (review here). It was a great night, by all accounts. Kings Destroy were celebrating the release of their self-titled (review here) via War Crime […]
