If you feel your life’s been a little short on languid stoner blues of late, you could probably do with a Dead Meadow fix. Luckily for you, the mellow psychedelic trio are headed back to British shores for a second visit later this year, so grab your diary and make plans.
Dead Meadow are a superb live band, and their latest album Old Growth adds an accessibility that their earlier more muffled material didn’t quite possess. The Dreaded Press has a review of the Brighton show from the last tour, and frankly I’m gutted they’re not playing anywhere near enough for me to see them again.
You may be more geographically fortunate, however - so take a wander through Dead Meadow on the following dates:
- 12th September - End Of The Road Festival, Dorset
- 13th September - Civic Hall Bar, Wolverhampton
- 14th September - Roadhouse, Manchester
- 15th September - The Faversham, Leeds
- 16th September - Speakeasy, Belfast
- 17th September - Whelans, Dublin
- 18th September - Roisin Dubh, Galway
- 20th September - 229, London
- 21th September - Le Nouveau Casino, Paris
Hmmm… maybe I could hop on the Eurostar for the Paris show? That would be quite the adventure… though I doubt my bank balance would agree with me. Feh. Here’s the video for Dead Meadow’s “What Needs Must Be” to get you feeling a bit more horizontal:
All of a sudden, I want to be stoned out of my brains in the middle of Los Gatos, California… though I’d settle for Mexico. Or even Brighton… anyway, more Dead Meadow tunes can be heard on their MySpace page, and there’s a proper website with biographies, pretty artwork and trippy sitar noises, too. Awesome.
