SUMAC announce 10th anniversary shows, promising new music

Having recently teased new music, SUMAC (members of Isis, Russian Circles, etc) have now announced three Northeast shows for February to celebrate the band’s 10th anniversary: one in Boston, two in Brooklyn. Support comes from Scarcity, Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean, Ava Mendoza, and Forbes Graham, varying by date, and the band says, “we’re constructing set lists which will cover the breadth of terrain we’ve traversed so far – from our oldest songs to some of our latest (and yet to be released) material.”

The shows happen at Boston’s Arts at the Armory on February 16 with Scarcity and Forbes Graham; and Brooklyn’s Saint Vitus on February 17 & 18 with Scarcity and Forbes Graham on night one and Ava Mendoza and Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean on night two. Tickets for the Brooklyn shows are on sale now, and Boston ticket info appears to be TBA.

The full announcement reads:

Boston… New York… – we are pleased to announce that will be visiting you very soon – for one and two shows respectively. 2024 will mark 10 years of existence for us and we’re constructing set lists which will cover the breadth of terrain we’ve traversed so far – from our oldest songs to some of our latest (and yet to be released) material. We’re happy to be returning to St. Vitus where we’ve had a number of very memorable/ecstatic shows, and we’ll be performing different sets for each of the nights we’re there. Also happy to be playing Arts at the Armory in Boston for the first time. We’ll be joined on these dates by artists whose music we’ve enjoyed from afar, and who we’re very much looking forward to seeing/hearing for the first time in person: Scarcity, Forbes Graham, Ava Mendoza and Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean. If you’ve not yet experienced their work we highly recommend checking it out. Please join us, we’d love to see you. Thank you.
