Psychedelic rock gods Monster Magnet follow up their Soundwave appearance with a Dopes To Infinity tour.
Led by the inimitable rock hero Dave Wyndorf, Monster Magnet cemented their place in music history with 1995’s Dopes to Infinity and it’s massive debut single ‘Negasonic Teenage Warhead’.
Now they’re coming back to Australia with a Don’t Look Back-style show, playing the monolithic Dopes To Infinity front-to-back across five shows.
Wyndorf said in a press release:
“When I wrote Dopes in 1995 I envisioned a hard-rock, tripped-out journey exploring the many sounds and styles of the “great psychedelic era of 1968-1974″. I carefully sequenced the album to take the listener on a “roller-coaster ride” of engaging words and music. I sang songs of love, hate, lust, joy and desperation in a style I hoped would fire the listener’s imagination, bringing the everyday emotions that we all share to mythical heights.
Thankfully, the fans and critics told me I succeeded. Now I’d like to bring that experience to the stage. Dopes To Infinity: Live! In its entirety. A complete trip from beginning to end. I can’t wait!”
Tickets go on sale Friday July 8 from 9am.
