Russian Circles Announces Spring 2018 Tour Dates

Russian Circles managed to keep quiet for twenty-eight days in 2018 before announcing that King Woman will join them in March and April for a North American tour. Over three weeks the bands will be playing shows all over Canada and the United States, starting in Omaha, Nebraska, and capping off in Chicago, Illinois.

Russian Circles’ new tour will be a quick turnaround from its lengthy world tour with Mastodon and Eagles of Death Metal, but they are ready. The Chicago group has been together for over a decade and have produced copious instrumental and rock n’ roll music. Their sound runs the gamut from pink butterfly beauty to sticky grunge, and they continue to innovate on a daily basis. Russian Circles will not settle for tradition or anything less than cutting edge.

Kristina Esfandiari founded King Woman in 2009. Serving as the group’s vocalist, Esfandiari and the Bay Area group moulded a sound unique to themselves. One corner of a King Woman album could be shoegaze and another would contain sad and heavy metal. They debuted in 2017 with Created In The Image Of Suffering, which earned them widespread acclaim. The truthful an deep lyrics reveal how much of King Woman’s members’ own personal suffering is contained in their work.

The two groups are a scientific match in chemistry and will give great performances. Tour dates below.

Conrad Brittenham: My name is Conrad. I am one year out of college and pursuing a career in writing and journalism. I studied literature at Bard College, in the Hudson Valley. My thesis focuses on the literal and figurative uses of disease in Herman Melville’s most famous works, including Moby-Dick, Benito Cereno, and Billy Budd. My literary research on the topic of disease carried over to more historical findings about how humans tend to deal with and think about the problem of virus and infectivity. I’ve worked at a newspaper and an ad agency, as well as for the past year at an after school program, called The Brooklyn Robot Foundry. All of these positions have influenced the way I approach my work, my writing, and the way I interact with others in a professional setting. I’ve lived in London and New York, and have always had a unique perspective on international cultural matters. I am an avid drawer and a guitarist, but I would like to eventually work for a major news publication as an investigative journalist.
