Lightning Bolt Announces North American Tour

Rhode Island-based noise rock duo Lightning Bolt announced a North American tour that will primarily sweep across the South and up the West coast with only a few dates in Canada, the Midwest and New England.

Brian Chippendale (drums/vocals) and Brian Gibson (bass) haven’t released a new album since 2009’s Earthly Delights. Lightning Bolt is known for its intense shows, which have been referred to as “guerrilla gigs.” The band often prefers to play on the floors of venues rather than the stage.

The tour information is listed below.
