Recommended gig: Karma To Burn W/Year Long Disaster

Who: Karma To Burn W/Year Long Disaster
Date: 21/04/10
Where: Manchester Academy 3


After a wasp strewn performance at last summer's Download Festival and a fantastic run of support shows for Monster Magnet in December, stoner rock legends Karma To Burn finally give the UK a run of headline shows. Some of their first since reforming in early 2009. Supporting their upcoming album Appalachian Incantation, expect a heavy, gritty, instrumental band with fantastic technical abilities and a relentless, methodical approach to playing. Their lack of vocals only serving to keep the band focused on thunderous riffery. Joining them on tour are hard rock up-and-comers Year Long Disaster, making it a busy double shift for Rich Mullins, the bassist for both bands. A no nonsense rock gig. Should be perfect.

For fans of: Kyuss, Orange Goblin, Monster Magnet

Stoner Rock News: Karma to Burn release new video for 20

One of the biggest things you need to learn about me is that, I have a massive, huge, biblical love for stoner rock. So any news that I deem relevant to that, it'll be posted here in a snap. Well, here's the first bit of news.

Recently reformed instrumental, numerical-song-titling geniuses, Karma To Burn, have just re-recorded their songs 20 & 30 to make them sound crisper. Whilst doing this, they also recorded a video for 20 which may have just become one of my favourite videos of all time. Perfectly bizare sums it up.
