It’s been seven years since Greg Puciato’s project The Black Queen’s done anything of significance. Along with Steven Ryan Alexander, the duo had created something special back then, especially with the release of their album Fever Daydream a decade ago. To celebrate the occasion of hitting their debut album’s first decade, they’ve decided to go on a North American run of shows.
Set to kick off on May 8 in Portland, Oregon, the tour will run until June 6 when they play Dallas, Texas. Fans planning on attending should expect to hear music from the debut album, as well as their second offering Infinite Games.
Given the fact that there’s been so much time since their last time in North America, Puciato explained why now was time to get back on the road.
“As anyone into The Black Queen knows, we’ve been dormant for a minute. A lot of things ended up on the front burner and suddenly seven years had gone by, and 10 years since Fever Daydream’s release. Fever Daydream was really special and we know it meant a lot to fans as well. So we figured let’s get some grease on us and get some of that mojo back before releasing our third album. Maybe we’ll toss some new songs in as well. See you soon.”
At each stop of the tour, the band will have special 10th anniversary variants of their debut album available exclusively on the tour.
Tickets will go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. local time, with an artist presale starting this Thursday at 10 a.m. local time exclusively for folks signed up to The Black Queen’s mailing list. You can find the full list of tour dates below.
