Baroness has just announced their Red & Blue Tour for this May, and you'll never guess what records they're gonna be playing! That's right, Purple! Just kidding, it's Red and Blue. The trek kicks off on May 7 at the Metro Gallery in Baltimore, MD, and wraps up on May 31 at Thunderbird Music Hall in Pittsburgh, PA. Tickets are available here.
"In December, for our annual Philly pre-holiday show, we performed our first two full length albums: Red and Blue," said Baroness frontman John Baizley. "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."
