Baroness have announced a full-fledged North American tour celebrating their first two albums ‘Red‘ & ‘Blue‘. That trek follows a pair of shows the group played in Philadelphia, PA last December celebrating those records. The progressive sludge metal band have dubbed this new track ‘The Red & Blue Tour‘ and will be heading out this May on that run.
Vocalist/guitarist John Baizley previously commented of revisiting those albums on the stage:
“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.”
