PRESS RELEASE:

Doom and psychedelic rock titans Acid King will be putting New Zealand under their influence in September.

Founded and fronted by tough, motorbike riding and guitar slinging Lori S, Acid King have been kicking out the stoner rock and doom metal jams since 1993. The three-piece have released four albums (all produced by the esteemed Billy Anderson), toured with no less than High On Fire, Fu Manchu and The Melvins and played as warm-up acts to Sleep, Hawkwind, Spirit Caravan, The Obsessed and The Mystick Krewe of Clearlight to name a few. In 2015 Acid King released their long awaited fourth full-length album ‘Middle of Nowhere, Centre of Everywhere’ which has been well received by old and new fans alike.

SF Weekly recently touted Lori S in their Five Women in Metal That You Need to Know About. “…her fuzzed out guitars and mesmerizing vocal style are hallmarks of the band’s sound.” = SFWeekly.com

Having toured throughout the US and Europe multiple times and Japan and Australia once, Acid King are now poised to undertake their inaugural New Zealand tour.
