Just a note of timeliness (as they used to say in my Journalism classes). Bay Area experimental doom/metal band NEUROSIS are playing a few bi coastal dates this winter including not one, but TWO dates in New York City, NY in support of their latest release "Given to the Rising". MASTODON have been added for BOTH NYC dates, so get your tickets NOW.
January 24th and 25th NEUROSIS (complete with visuals) will take the stage at the MASONIC TEMPLE (Brooklyn, NYC) with MASTODON, U.S. CHRISTMAS (Jan. 24). January 25th NEUROSIS will headline with (again), MASTODON, STORM OF THE LIGHT and BATTLE OF MICE.
Febuary 16th, and 17th NEUROSIS will play at NEUMOS in Seattle, Washington with CONVERGE and STORM OF THE LIGHT.
NEUROSIS will head over seas to play the (avant garde) ROADBURN festival in Holland with CELTIC FROST, CEPHALIC CARNAGE (playing a special doom set-"Halls of Amenti") ect
