Oh that? That’s just German good-vibes heavy rockers Daily Thompson heading out again for another two and a half weeks of touring. You know how they do.

The trio will hit up the UK this time supporting The Atomic Bitchwax — am I crazy thinking these two bands have toured together before? — and making stops through Sound of Liberation-related fests Up in Smoke in Switzerland, Keep it Low in Munich and Lazy Bones at Hamburg, where they’ll wrap the run. It’s the umpteenth tour or at least the fourth that the group have undertaken since the release last year of their God of Spinoza (review here) long-player, which they followed quickly with a live album recorded at last summer’s Freak Valley Festival (review here), titled suitably Live at Freak Valley 2022.

I may forever associate their friendly grooves with summer sunshine after seeing that set, but I have no doubt they do just fine in an autumnal context as well. And guess what? It’s more October tour dates! Who’d’ve thought?

We`re ready when you are!

Daily Thompson, Live at Freak Valley 2022 (2022)

Daily Thompson, God of Spinoza (2022)

Here’s a thing I know: Daily Thompson are a good time. I was lucky enough to learn this first-hand at last year’s Freak Valley Festival (review here) where they appeared supporting their 2022 LP, God of Spinoza (review here), which is a performance they apparently thought enough of to release it as a live album last month. Having been there, I can’t argue, and while the raw audio from that recording by Rockpalast can’t necessarily account for the visually-palpable fun the three-piece have on stage — not every band actually looks like the members enjoy each other’s company; Daily Thompson pretty clearly do — the songs themselves have plenty enough bounce to carry through a sense of the impression.

They’ve announced a live stint for the Spring that will take place in May, and that’s built around a slot at the prestigious Desertfest Berlin, which it feels redundant to say will be awesome having already noted the name of the festival. More likely than not, Daily Thompson will have more dates coming as they keep momentum on their side heading into the rest of this year. Perhaps a corresponding Fall tour would make sense and let them hit even more fests? Yeah, they might just want to go ahead and book it now, just to be safe.

Here’s their post and the ticket link, should you happen to be in the area when the time comes:

Welcome to 23, rock lovers!

We are super excited to announce our first tour and we are super excited for everything to come this year, it’s going to be a good one!

Daily Thompson, Live at Freak Valley 2022 (2022)

Daily Thompson, God of Spinoza (2022)

Yeah, this is gonna be one to check out. Particularly, I’ll be interested to hear if the smiles on the faces of Daily Thompson‘s members come through in the audio of what was their set at this year’s Freak Valley Festival (review here) as recorded by the legit-legendary Rockpalast, where the trio were clearly having at least a good a time as the crowd in that hot sunshine. It was quite a show, and kind of changed my impression of the band’s studio work as well.

So yes, let me go ahead and agree with myself twice for saying I am looking forward to hearing a live album of a show I was at. And please, stay tuned for more groundbreaking insights from The Obelisk. Your home for riffs and navelgazing, worldwide.

Or some such.

Daily Thompson also just wrapped up an 11-date tour were among those announced for Desertfest Berlin 2023 (info here) as well, so hey, right on. Before then, they’ll pay a visit Dec. 10 to Freak Valley X-Mas Fest, and I wouldn’t be surprised if more showed up before or concurrent to Desertfest either.

They announced Live at Freak Valley 2022 thusly:

DAILY THOMPSON – Live at Freak Valley 2022

Here we gooooo ⚡ this is the cover of our new record! We gonna release our very first live album “Daily Thompson live at Freak Valley 2022” December 2nd via Noisolution

It will be a super limited special edition, only 600 pieces! 300 on white (#129293#) and 300 on black vinyl (#128420#) There will be no repress, when gone it`s gone (of course it will be available on your favourite streaming platforms).

We have to say that it was a lie when we said last Saturday was the last show of the year, because the lovely FREAK VALLEY FESTIVAL Crew invited us to celebrate the release at their legendary Freak Valley Xmas Fest 2022 December 10th with a bunch of rad bands!

Huge thanks to FREAK Valley Festival, Rock Freaks , WDR Rockpalast and Tony Reed for mixing and mastering all the tracks. And of course to our label Noisolution!
