Acid King Added to North West Hesh Fest 2015 in Portland, OR

San Francisco purveyors of righteous fuzz Acid King are barely a week out from announcing their first round of coast-to-coast dates in the better part of a decade, and here they are, adding one more to the mix. The riff-led trio join the lineup for North West Hesh Fest 2015 in Portland, Oregon, next month (Aug. 27-29) to fill the slot vacated by Weedeater, and frankly, I’d be hard pressed to think of anyone more up to the task at hand.

Acid King are supporting this year’s most excellent Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere (review here), which is their first album in 10 years, and at North West Hesh Fest 2015, they’ll play alongside YOB, Dead Moon, Pentagram and local Portland favorites Diesto, among others. If you’re into good times, it looks like it’s gonna be one.

Side note: Thanks to everyone who entered the ticket giveaway contest. A winner has been chosen and emailed. If I don’t hear back from them, another winner will be chosen and emailed, and so on. Presumably by the time I get to everyone who took the time to leave a comment in the first place, someone will have gotten back about it. But yeah, thanks.

Here’s the updated poster and info for the North West Hesh Fest, of which I’m very happy to have The Obelisk be a sponsor:

North West Hesh Fest Welcomes The Obelisk as a Sponsor

Posted in Whathaveyou on July 13th, 2015 by JJ Koczan

I’m thrilled to announce today that The Obelisk has been added as a sponsor of the North West Hesh Fest next month at Dante’s in Portland, Oregon. A three-day fest with Dead MoonPentagram and YOB as headliners, it’s put together by Austin-based American Icon Records, also known for the Heavy Metal Parking Lot at SXSW and which has released vinyl from Sweat Lodge, The Motel Ball Band and Teenage News, among others.

Sweat Lodge will also play North West Hesh Fest. The complete lineup is Pentagram, Dead Moon, DRC3, P.R.O.B.L.E.M.S., The Last Dancers, Fireballs of Freedom, School of Rock, Diesto, Sweat Lodge, Weedeater and YOB, and Nathan Carson (Witch Mountain and Nanotear Booking) will DJ the Saturday night gig.

Looks like a killer time out west. We’re in talks of doing a ticket giveaway leading up to the thing, so keep an eye out for that in the next couple weeks, and it’ll be particularly interesting to see what new material Pentagram — whose recently announced new album Curious Volume is due out Aug. 28 — bring to the stage to go along with their classic set regulars.

Thanks to North West Hesh Fest for inviting me to be a part of the fest and having this site involved. More to come in the next several weeks, but here’s the announcement from the fest of The Obelisk coming on board and ticket links for those who like to be ahead of the game:
