UPDATE: The Blood Brothers added more shows in several cities.
The Blood Brothers have been dormant since briefly reuniting in 2014, but now they’re back again and just announced their first tour in 10 years! The tour also celebrates the 20th anniversary of their 2004 album Crimes, which is getting a deluxe vinyl reissue on October 4 via Epitaph (pre-order). The reissue will come as an expanded double LP with B-sides & etching, plus a 20-page booklet with new liner notes and photos, and it’ll be available in three different limited variants. Co-vocalist Jordan Blilie says:
As we’ve been putting together the 20th anniversary reissue of Crimes, what I’m struck by most listening back is the energy. It feels both feral and weirdly focused, like whatever chemistry we’d been tinkering with had finally crystallized. It was on stage, though, where that energy reached its most joyful, reckless, collective state. It’s an experience that never really goes away, and one we wanted to share again. So, we’ll be playing a handful of shows this fall. We hope to see you there.
The tour includes two-night stands in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, NYC, and Chicago, plus single nights in Santa Ana, Denver, Portland, Austin, Boston, and Philly.
The NYC shows happen at Irving Plaza on December 13 & 14, and there’s a BrooklynVegan presale beginning Thursday (5/16) at 10 AM. PASSWORD = BLOODBROTHERSBV. Any remaining tickets will go on sale Friday (5/17) at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.
