Baroness, who recently launched a new round of U.S. tour dates in support of Purple, premiere a music video for the song “Try to Disappear” via Juxtapoz (http://www.juxtapoz.com/news/music/premiere-baroness-try-to-disappear-video/). The clip captures one of the band’s “absolutely electric” (Exclaim) live outings in support of the 10-song album.”The cathartic experience of playing live music has not changed over the 13 years of performing,” John Baizley said in a recent interview with the SF Weekly. “But the sense of relief and release I feel as an adult is as intense, if not more than, when I was younger. The response to this record has been really, really overwhelming. There have been some pretty dramatic changes in the way that our audiences react to our songs, and I couldn’t be happier about that.”
Baroness recently announced an Australian/New Zealand tour for December, marking the band’s first Oceanian shows since the release of Purple. Tickets for all non-festival performances are available via YourBaroness.com. Pallbearer opens on all U.S. non-festival dates. Tour dates: August 31 Tucson, AZ The Rock December 5 Auckland, New Zealand Studio |
