Fcukers, Davidson, Carlisle explore Kowloon Walled City

The air is buzzing with momentum, and as the season shifts into fall, the music world is launching a flurry of exciting announcements. From legendary tributes to sprawling solo tours, artists are setting up dynamic schedules that promise some seriously memorable live experiences.

The heavy hitters continue to make noise. The infamous McDonald’s-based Black Sabbath tribute band, MAC SABBATH, is gearing up for new fall shows, teaming up with Clownvis and Flummox’s Alyson Blake Dellinger to bring their unique blend of rock history to the stage.

Meanwhile, the established sounds are finding new avenues. Legendary producer PAUL OAKENFOLD and The Crystal Method are hitting the road this autumn, supporting their new album Mission Underground. Fans can catch them live in cities like NYC at Racket on Halloween.

In the indie and post-hardcore spheres, a rich tapestry of touring is unfolding. KOWLOON WALLED CITY will be taking their sound across the East Coast and Midwest, building anticipation for shows that include an upcoming Brooklyn event.

The rhythm continues with acts like Smut / DIRT BUYER, who are co-headlining a brief tour across the East Coast and Midwest in September, including a stop at Night Club 101 in NYC.

The focus on personal artistic statements is strong. ORVILLE PECK has announced a fall tour with Abbie Callahan for his latest offering, Mule. The dynamic pairing promises an evening steeped in unique atmosphere.

Other major acts are also dominating the calendar. Willi Carlisle is embarking on a lengthy run of nearly 40 dates this fall to support his double album The Universal Bubba, with a notable stop scheduled for Baby’s All Right on November 2.

On the scene, a powerful benefit concert is also planned. An independently produced NYC Elliott Smith Benefit Concert will take place on September 28 at Public Records, featuring acts like Greg Mendez and the Hold Steady’s Franz Nicolay.

The artistic landscape is also defined by intense personal journeys. MARIE DAVIDSON is touring her latest shows supporting City of Clowns, with two upcoming NYC dates planned: a live set at Xanadu on October 16, and a DJ set at Signal in August.

Further excitement comes from the solo and full-band tours dominating the scene. EMMA RUTH RUNDLE is embarking on a full-band tour this fall to support her new album These Killing Times. Meanwhile, STEPHEN MALKMUS is launching a new solo run on the West Coast, adding fresh energy to his already prolific schedule.

Even established giants are making their moves. Ministry will be saying goodbye on tour next year following the release of what they are calling their final album on Halloween, though European dates remain active for now.

The scene is full of movement, collaboration, and unforgettable moments waiting to happen as we head into the autumn season.
