Okay, hold on a second... let me help this customer... awkward pause]. Alright, sorry about that. Have a good night, sir! What were we talking about? Oh, right yeah! Monumental Metal Monoliths [sunn 0))), pumped as hell about receiving the vaunted Eureka! merit badge for their new one on Southern Lord, Monoliths & Dimensions (TMT Review), are sprinting off on a tour of the Midwest and are finalizing dates and schedules for a West Coast tour in August and a jaunt around the East Coast in September.
Interesting fact: sunn 0))) have not set foot in the Midwest in quite a while, and for some of the states/cities this will be the very first time the band has played there-- hold on... 'nother customer...
Sorry about that, just some whiny old bitch who couldn’t find the vodkas. Where were we? The lineup for these here shows will be as follows:
Attila Csihar -- invocations
Steve Moore -- trombone, keys
Stephen O’Malley -- guitar
Greg Anderson -- bass
Cool, right? Who doesn’t want to watch a guy named Attila deliver invocations?? Touring with sunn 0))) will be labelmates Eagle Twin, recent Southern Lord signees.
