Ides Of Gemini have announced a batch of West Coast tour dates. The band will kick off the dates next week, with a couple of shows supporting Oxbow. Two weeks later the band will be appearing at this year’s Crucialfest, where they will perform alongside Rosetta, Norska, and more. The festival stint is followed by a support slot for Demon Lung’s record release show in Las Vegas. After another break, the band will be joied by blackened dream pop duo Clay Rendering.
This series of dates follows a tour with Mountain Goats that was cut short due to an injury suffered by drummer Kelly Johnston-Gibson. Guitarist J. Bennett offers:
“After the disappointment of having to drop off the Mountain Goats tour last month we’re looking forward to getting out on the road again. Unfortunately, Kelly’s injury is still healing so she won’t be able to join us for the June shows with Oxbow and Demon Lung or our appearance at Cruficalfest in Salt Lake. The good news is that our friend Sash Popovic, formerly of [singer/bassist] Sera’s [Timms] old band, Black Math Horseman, will be filling in for those. He’s a killer drummer and a great guy, so we’re very thankful that he’s agreed to help us out. If all goes according to plan, Kelly should be back in action for the July run with Clay Rendering.”
