It’s been just two months since Guerilla Toss last hit the road, trampling across the country inciting hippie-mosh love fests with their electrifying hard, weird rock noise roll. Is it their steadfast dedication to the underground cause that keeps them on the road with such vigor? Are they simply addicted to stirring up shit and leaving people flustered by their live shows and sick sick records? Maybe they’re compelled to spread the good word of Boston, believing that as the keepers of such unfettered, gnarly grooves it is their duty to do so. Who’s to say? They might just be tapped.
Either way, they’re out there and they’ve got a string of incredible shows lined up to promote their mind-melting new album GAY DISCO, out now on NNA. In addition to usual rad cities they love they will be doing a handful of SXSW showcases including those of Impose Magazine, WFMU, Cropped Out and Exploding In Sound Records. You must know some other fools going down to Austin this month, right? From here or wherever? Spread the word! Sectioned nicely into thirds by week long runs with Cloud Becomes Your Hand and Ryan Power this whole trip outta be fraught with proggy pop parties of the highest order. Every show bringing GToss one step closer to the brink of insanity. When they return home the whole band might just collapse into a pile of rubble. And it will have been worth it. But let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. RSVP HERE and look below for the mysteriously vague tour itinerary they have posted. I’m sure no one will have trouble finding the place.
