Garage bands Acid Baby Jesus and Hellshovel joint tour begins with two shows in NYC (Bell House tonight) (dates, streams)

Acid Baby Jesus
Montreal’s Hellshovel and Greek band Acid Baby Jesus are old buds, having met in the latter’s home city of Athens in 2010 which resulted in a collaboration called Voyager 8 which you can stream below. The two bands, both on Slovenly Recordings, have similar psych-garage sounds and the joint record is pleasingly twisted. You can also stream each band’s most recent LPs below as well.
Three years later, Hellshovel and Acid Baby Jesus are together again for a big North American tour which starts here in NYC with two shows: tonight (2/22) at The Bell House with The Psyched, Twin Guns, The Recordettes, The Mess-Around and WFMU’s Dave the Spazz on DJ duties (tickets); and Cake Shop on Saturday (2/23) with Livids and K HOLES.
