Monster Magnet have revealed details of a special live trip down memory lane. The New Jersey space-rockers will perform their seminal 'Dopes To Infinity' album in its entirety, as well as select “hits” from their back catalogue at two exclusive performances in Glasgow and London in November.
Speaking about the live dates, mainman Dave Wyndorf explains. “Hey friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support over the last twenty years. Speaking for myself and all the members of Monster Magnet I'd like you to know how much we enjoy performing our music live and I'm sure you would agree with me when I say that live shows are the ultimate bond between artists and fans.
“It's in that spirit that I'm excited to tell you of our next live project: performing the album "Dopes To Infinity" live in it's entirety. When I wrote "Dopes" in 1995 I envisioned a hard-rock, tripped-out journey exploring the many sounds and styles of the "great psychedelic era of 1968-1974".
“I carefully sequenced the album to take the listener on a "roller-coaster ride" of engaging words and music. I sang songs of love, hate, lust, joy and desperation in a style I hoped would fire the listener's imagination, bringing the everyday emotions that we all share to mythical heights. Thankfully, the fans and critics told me I succeeded. Now I'd like to bring that experience to the stage. "Dopes To Infinity": Live! In it's entirety. A complete trip from beginning to end. I can't wait!”
As well as all the classic songs, fans can expect a visual treat, specially tailored towards the 'Dopes…' album.
