California’s Machine Head is including three Canadian dates on their North American tour in support of their newly released album, Catharsis.
The dates include February 11 at Club Soda in Montreal, February 13 at Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, and March 6 at Commodore in Vancouver. Tickets for all the shows can be found here.
Singer/guitarist Robb Flynn says, “It’s been far too long since we’ve demolished venues in America. We have had an awesome and productive break writing our new album Catharsis, but now it’s time for Machine Head to go melt some faces! The reaction to our last ‘Evening With’ tours in America were nothing short of incredible, so once again these dates will be ‘Evening With’ and will see us performing two-and-a-half to three hours every night with no opening bands.”
He continues, “We LOVED performing as an ‘Evening With’ for you Head Cases, and you guys loved it as well, the freedom to do whatever the f–k we wanted for as long as we wanted every night was liberating. It’s not what everyone else is doing, and frankly, there are not a lot of bands who could even pull it off, but Machine Head CAN pull it off, and we are excited as f–k to do it again. We are carving our own path here, playing by our own rules, and as an artist, it’s the best feeling in the world!”
Flynn promises, “No festivals period, no 45 minute slots, no supporting some stupid DJ, no parking lots in a rain storm, The Head will only be ‘headlining,’ so come on down and rage!!”
