Russian Circles, KEN mode, and Inter Arma touring in 2014, including two NYC shows

Russian Circles at Saint Vitus, 2013 (more by Caroline Harrison)
Russian Circles

Russian Circles put out one of the most critically successful kinda-metal albums of 2013 in Memorial; they also toured pretty heavily on it, including a memoriable stop at Saint Vitus this spring.

It looks like they’ll be coming back in February, with a killer support package to boot. The band just announced a six(ish)-week North American tour, with direct support from KEN mode and additional support from Inter Arma on most dates and Helms Alee for the tour’s West Coast leg. The Inter Arma-fied version of this package will hit NYC twice: February 20 at Bowery Ballroom, and February 22 at Saint Vitus. Tickets aren’t on sale at for either venue yet, but keep an eye out.

Both of these shows should absolutely rule. Russian Circles’s spacious jams are built with live interpretation in mind. KEN mode and Inter Arma both released great albums of their own in 2013, and both spent virtually the entire year touring aggressively behind them (often together). Lineups don’t get much more road-tested than this one.
