Three weeks and over 6,000 miles… I cannot believe that I joined one of my favorite bands on tour.
Pelican played 17 shows in 21 days throughout the Midwest and West Coast, some places which they haven’t visited in quite some time. It was a pleasure getting to know the band and hearing stories of previous tours, as well as seeing the reactions of so many fans. Not to mention hearing a lot of new songs and older favorites every night. We drove through a dust storm, up and down curving slushy mountain passes, and constant wind gusts that rocked the van. Only stopping for coffee. …and Record shopping. …and Ice Cream.
The legendary riff lords are about to unleash their seventh full-length album, ‘Flickering Resonance,’ due to be released in May via Run for Cover Records. To support the forthcoming record, Pelican accepted an invitation from their long-time friends, Russian Circles, for a tour that would be quite special for all involved.
Thank you Pelican and Russian Circles for a surreal experience of a lifetime. Feels like the most rad fever dream ever.
Currently working on going through all the photographs and notes taken.
