Baroness have announced a North American tour set for this May. Bringing The Red Album (2007) and Blue Record (2009) to the Midwest and East Coast, the tour will feature exclusive tour-only vinyl with newly crafted John Baizley artwork along with Red and Blue-themed merchandise. Tickets are available at this location.
Baizley comments:
“In December, for our annual Philly pre-holiday show, we performed our first two full length albums: Red and Blue. It was a great experience, unearthing the deeper cuts from those records that had faded from our setlist and it offered a rare opportunity to play some of those songs for the first time ever outside the studio. While I’ve personally never been overly interested in the pure nostalgia of past records, we’ve always found it illuminating to bridge the gap between present and past Baroness by learning and updating/rearranging our earliest material. After the overwhelming and positive response from the Philadelphia shows (and while we’re busy writing our next record) we’re looking forward to taking Red and Blue on the road and sharing the experience with old and new friends alike.”
