Death is coming for you! No man can escape Death! Well, if you live in Texas, at least, or if you’re attending Chicago’s Riot Fest. I’m referring, of course, to the hard-rocking Detroit proto-punk band Death, not the natural final cycle of our life stages that inspires existential angst and suburban teenage goths. It has been a mere eight years since Drag City unleashed the band’s previously-unreleased, yet instantly-beloved LP For the Whole World to See, and since that time, the band hasn’t quit, touring nonstop and releasing old and new material such as this spring’s aptly named N.E.W.
Fans can catch Death as they take over Texan cities from Austin to San Antonio to Dallas this month. In September, they’ll be journeying to beautiful Chicago, home of TV’s Perfect Strangers and Family Matters, to share the Riot Fest stage along with the likes of Motorhead, Iggy Pop, Merle Haggard, and Bootsy Collins.
