Nefarious Summer Tour!

Nefarious is going on tour! After only playing at our favorite venue the DNA Lounge – 3 times, the first time nearly 2 years ago – the band is hitting the road. Finally.

Nefarious is going to start out with a local mini-tour (Roseville > Berkeley > Reno) with Defiance and Parabellum. Technically it will be a multi-state tour, though just 3 gigs. 

A truly stacked lineup of Northern California Thrash metal! 

Then later this summer, Nefarious heads to Europe for the first time, to play some of the summer festivals there in August and September. 

My partner in this site and Hectic / Bleeding Priest Records, Will Carroll, will be a busy man, coming off an 8 week Death Angel US tour just a few days prior to the June shows here, and a bunch of festivals with Death Angel in Europe just before the Nefarious festival dates.

Speaking of our label, we still have some copies of the second pressing of Nefarious’ debut Addicted to Power, on orange crush vinyl:

Finally, Nefarious is going to play another local gig in October, the Metal Relixx Expo at Faction Brewing in Alameda. This one day metal memorabilia and record swap also features live bands, meet and greets, and even a Metal Kids’ Zone to inspire the next generation of headbangers.

It is going to be a very cool event, with Parabellum, Nefarious, and Harald’s All Star Jam playing live, and meet and greets with the bands plus guest of honor Graham Bonnet (Rainbow, Alcatrazz, Michael Schenker).
