Goes Cube Kicks off Winter Tour with Show at Magnetic Field (BKLYN) tomorrow and new EP!
I recently got this bit o’news from Goes Cube. I was planning on going to the show anyway (gotta go get me a copy of the new EP!) But maybe you all will want to join in the fun.
GOES CUBE KICKS OFF WINTER TOUR WITH BAM NEXT FEST SHOW AT BROOKLYN’S MAGNETIC FIELD ON FRIDAY 2/22
This is NYC’s FIRST of TWO opportunities to purchase Goes Cube’s tour-only EP. Titled “Not What We Thought,” EP is limited edition, hand-numbered; already receiving advanced accolades from press.
For nearly all of March (and the end of February), Goes Cube will cover 15 states (including DC, which technically isn’t a state), and play nearly every single night for a month. This is the third time in a year Goes Cube is on the road for a significant tour.
The odyssey (also their chosen brand of mini-van) is getting an early start thanks to their kick-off show happening 9pm Friday, 2/22, at Magnetic Field (97 Atlantic Ave, at Henry St, in Brooklyn). The show is part of the Brooklyn Next Festival.
A year ago, Goes Cube was touring in support of their top-selling EP, “Beckon The Dagger God.” That EP is now sold out, but that’s no cause for concern: Goes Cube will have their limited-edition EP “Not What We Thought” for sale. In fact, this tour is the only opportunity for people to get their hands on it – and this show is the first of two opportunities for NYC (the last being their highly anticipated homecoming show at Union Pool on 3/28). Featuring all new and unreleased songs (with the exception of the lead track, which was premiered by Stereogum in late January), the EP is limited-edition, and hand-numbered by the band.
Press was given an advanced listen to the EP, and the reviews have been spectacular:
- Stereogum said “We’ve never heard them get this massive.”
- EarFarm said “Goes Cube has offered a road map for the future of heavy music right here in Song 56, on all of ‘Not What We Thought.’ Deadly.”
- The Culture Of Me called it a “fucking masterpiece” and said that Goes Cube “has exerted every possible ounce of themselves into ‘Not What We Thought’ and what’s come out as product is astonishing.”
- Tuddd’s Muddd said “Goes Cube has counted to infinity. Twice.”
Those who like their rock music loud and without pretension are advised to mark their calendars (schedule here: www.goescube.com/shows.html) so they can pick up their copy of “Not What We Thought” and experience Goes Cube’s live set, which has been described by the press as “brutal” “punishing” “destructive” “painfully loud” and “purely visceral.”
Goes Cube is:
Kenny Appell - drums
Matthew Frey - bass guitar, backing vocals
David Obuchowski - guitar, vocals
