The current iteration of bleak, snarling Cleveland proto-punk legends Rocket From The Tombs (fronted by David Thomas of Pere Ubu) will be on tour through the Midwest and East Coast of the US in early December, starting tomorrow, in support of their second post-reformation studio album (which features new material as well as reworks of well-loved tracks like “Sonic Reducer”). The group doesn’t play out much, so this is a rare chance to see them in action. The dates are:
December
01 Chicago at Empty Bottle
02 Pontiac, MI at The Pike Room at The Crofoot
03 Cleveland at Beachland Ballroom
04 Philadelphia at Johnny Brenda’s
05 Jersey City at Monty Hall
06 Brooklyn, NY at Baby’s All Right
07 Washington, DC at Rock and Roll Hotel
08 Allston, MA @atBrighton Music Hall
RFTT’s newest record, Black Record, which is a collaboration in many ways with This Moment In Black History, is available now on Fire Records.
