Lightning Bolt announce summer US tour, make noise at Noise Day in MA

Feeling that the world had a serious lack of “noise-rock based festivals,” the radio station at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts has been putting together an annual “Noise Day,” and wouldn’t you know it: this year’s headlining act will be Lightning Bolt!

Noise Day is an outdoor festival that celebrates art, music, and, most of all, NOISE! The day-long festival includes live performances by a handful of bands, as well as a showcase for sound/art installations done up by local artisans and musicians. The rest of the performers: Dark and Stormy, Britney’s Spear, The Awesome Something, Gila Monster, Golden Girld, ISA Christ / Kyle Clyde, and Tinsel Teeth.

The whole shindig starts getting down at 1 PM at “The Out Door Greens at Clark University” (wherever that is! Me, I went to Pepperdine!) on Saturday, April 24, and supposedly features a free BBQ along with the noise-makers. Smoked meat and distortion? Sign me up! More information can be found at the radio of Clark University website.

Alright, I’ve teased you enough: Lightning Bolt, whose latest release Earthly Delights was released in October 2009 (via Load), have just announced their summer US tour. They’ll be playing shows with Wolf Eyes, Indian Jewelry, and Best Fwends. HERE BE THE DATES:
