Bay Area Metal Titans\u00a0MACHINE HEAD<\/strong>\u00a0will headline an exclusive tour starting this February, billed as \u201cAn Evening With MACHINE HEAD\u201d <\/strong>spanning across mainland Europe and the U.K! No support bands, no locals, just\u00a02 hours of bone-crunching metal anthems, deep album cuts, sing-a-longs, haunting atmospheric pieces, and\u00a0pure fucking\u00a0MACHINE HEAD<\/strong>!!!<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re doing \u2018An Evening With\u2019\u00a0MACHINE HEAD. Meaning: it\u2019ll just be us, folks,\u201d<\/em> commented guitarist\/vocalist\u00a0Robb Flynn<\/strong>. \u00a0\u201cWe are really excited about playing longer sets,\u00a0throwing in some deep cuts, and just having it be our own world. We did this in the U.S. and eastern Europe recently and it\u2019s done amazingly well. Fans seem to really love the “Evening\u00a0With\u2026” format for a band like us who has a long-standing and diverse catalog. \u00a0While the sets vary from night to night, there were a couple nights on the last run where we reached the 2 hour\u00a0and 40 minute mark. It was crazy! We could have played all night, the crowd was so insane!!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
In regards to the band\u2019s decision to only headline their own shows throughout\u00a0the \u00bbBloodstone & Diamonds\u00ab<\/strong> touring cycle, as well as no longer play\u00a0festival slots,\u00a0Flynn<\/strong>\u00a0elaborates: “We\u2019re not trying to have a good time with a bunch of people who don\u2019t know who we are. If\u00a0MACHINE HEAD\u00a0throws a party, big or small, we don\u2019t want a bunch of \u2018strangers\u2019 there. This\u00a0is about us and you guys, the die-hards, the Head Cases, The Fucking Undesirables! We don\u2019t care about the others out there. We\u2019re here and we\u2019re not going anywhere. If those people\u00a0want to be a part of this, they know where to find us. So for the time being, and maybe \u2018forever\u2019, we\u2019re done reaching out for them.”<\/em><\/p>\n
