Thou releasing an LP, playing one-off before tour w/ The Body

Thou at ABC No Rio (more by Fred Pessaro)
Thou

It’s been quite some time since arts-inclined Louisiana sludge unit Thou came to New York City. Now, with their fourth full-length album Heathen scheduled to drop on March 25 via Gilead Media, Thou are stepping into the live arena again. For starters, they’ve just announced a one-off NYC show at Saint Vitus on March 23. No openers yet, but tickets are on sale now.

The band are also preparing for separate tours with both Cloud Rat and The Body (who just released a song from their upcoming album, and who are playing Vitus the day before Thou). The former tour will be a West Coast tour, while the latter will return Thou to the East Coast. Both Thou and The Body will be playing NYC again on July 5 at ABC No Rio and a TBA NYC date the next night, plus they’ll both be at the Gilead Media Festival in July as well.

All dates are listed (some venues still TBA), with a stream of Thou’s last LP, below…
