The first annual Pentimento Campfire Tour featuring Toh Kay, Dan P and Sycamore Smith has come to a close. The tour consisted of 12 shows split between two coasts (with a bit of Midwest thrown in) linked by flights and a minivan, three musicians, three acoustic guitars, a campfire and some stars. There are already plans for next years Pentimento Campfire Tour so save some marshmallows for us.
Bloomington, Indiana’s Rodeo Ruby Love are hitting the road this Spring. In continued support of their record “This Is Why We Don’t Have Nice Things” and in preparation for recording their follow-up, RRL will be performing their infectious songs for fans up and down the Midwest. Prepare to be whistling their songs for weeks to come. Dates posted on the Tour Page.
Hosted by Doug Benson, The 2012 High Times Magazine Doobie Awards saw Lionize win the award for “Best Stoner Rock Artist”. Among other categories was the honoring of George Clinton through their Lifetime Achievement award. Catch Lionize on tour with Fair To Midland and Dead Letter Circus in support of their album Superczar and The Vulture.
Being home for more than two weeks? That’s the absolute most Lionize will tolerate stagnation and to remedy the tepidness this time, they are hitting the road with Fair To Midland and Dead Letter Circus. To start and end the tour Lionize will be playing a handful of headlining shows. Check out the Tour page for dates and locations.

Genre-bending reggae/rock band Lionize have announced that they will release Superczar and The Vulture, their fifth album, and first on Pentimento Music Company on 12/6/11. The release sees Lionize heading back to Magpie Cage Recording Studio (Against Me!, The Promise Ring, Murder By Death) to record with the legendary J. Robbins. On it, they weave together 70s-influenced heavy psych rock riffs with reggae grooves and deeply soulful vocals, resulting in a record that both challenges and embraces the genres where it finds its roots.
Lionize spent this past summer as stand-outs on the Vans Warped Tour, and followed that success with a string of dates across the United States co-headlining with friends Larry and His Flask. This fall sees the band once again on the road, touring the country with labelmates Streetlight Manifesto, Rodeo Ruby Love and friends Reel Big Fish. Lionize are no strangers to the touring life, having spent the better past of the last decade touring virtually non-stop with the likes of Bad Brains, Clutch,Steel Pulse, and CKY among numerous others.
Pre-orders include the CD itself, a T-shirt and a limited edition screen printed poster. They can all be found at The Risc Store.
Thursday’s Sycamore Smith lyric to make your day that much better. From the song “The Windy, Windy Night”:
My mother was a half-wit whore.
She left me at her own front door.
My father was a deacon who would often wake up reekin’
Of the sins he had condemned the day before.
