Noise rock lifers KEN mode are releasing their album NULL this fall via Artoffact Records, and they've announced plans to support it with a tour.
Currently, the Winnipeg band are sticking entirely to the Prairies, playing four shows immediately after the album comes out. They will play a hometown show on release day, September 23, immediately followed by stops in Saskatoon, Calgary and Edmonton. They will be supported at all shows by Vile Creature and Mares of Thrace.
Vocalist-guitarist Jesse Matthewson said in a statement, "When you haven't played a show in three years, but managed to write two albums, you might as well wait until at least one of them is out until you get on the road. We figured we'd ask some old friends and some new friends to celebrate with us for a quartet of shows in the Prairies before we tackle the US the following month, just to do something special on the homestead to release NULL into the world. Vile Creature had been telling us that they'd never been out West before, and Mares of Thrace hasn't done anything this way in 10 years, so I felt like it was the perfect package to present our new four-piece live version of KEN mode to the world."
A press release promises that more dates will be announced soon. See the schedule below.
KEN mode 2022 Tour Dates:
09/23 Winnipeg, MB - The Goodwill Social Club
09/24 Saskatoon, SK - Amigos Cantina
09/25 Calgary, AB - The Palomino Smokehouse
