Last year, Black Mountain appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien; toured with Bon Iver as part of the excellently named "Friendship Tour Two Thousand and Great"; rocked crowds at All Tomorrow's Parties, Coachella, SXSW, and Glastonbury; and released In the Future, the much-ballyhooed rock epic that made me think about wizards and stuff when I listened to it, but actually didn't have many mystical references at all when I looked up the lyrics a few minutes ago. So what's next for our Canadian friends? An album with more blatant references to wizardry and winged beasts, perhaps? For this, only time will tell. But as to tourdates, well, we totally have an answer. After rapping up a jaunt into Australia, our intrepid psych rockers will hit the West Coast with their country-styled Northern kindred, The Sadies.
The following dates include both bands, and from their previous touring history, lots and lots of friendship. Ahhh!
