Austin trio\u00a0Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol<\/a>\u00a0today announce even more US tour dates to close out 2024, adding December shows with\u00a0King\u00a0Buffalo<\/a><\/strong>. The band continues domestic dates this Fall supporting their new album\u00a0BIG DUMB RIFFS<\/a><\/em>\u00a0ahead of their performances at\u00a0Austin City Limits<\/strong>‘ prestigious\u00a0ACL Fest<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Levitation 2024<\/strong>\u00a0with\u00a0The Sword<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Pentagram<\/strong>. See all dates below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ticket pre-sales start tomorrow, August 7th at 10am local time (password: MAMMOTH) All tickets on sale<\/strong> Friday, August 9th HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band has also recently joined the roster of Doomstar Bookings<\/a> for EU & UK touring beginning in Spring 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIG DUMB RIFFS<\/em> is available on digital, LP and cassette, released May 10th, 2024. Order\/stream the album on all formats HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band-curated second annual Rickshaw Billie’s BIG DUMB FEST<\/strong> in Austin, TX on June 1st SOLD OUT at Mohawk Austin. This follows a string of sold out dates throughout Texas, Denver, Los Angeles, Brooklyn and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur catalog has never been short on big dumb riffs, but the idea on this record was to really turn the screw,\u201d says RBBP bassist Aaron Metzdorf. On Big Dumb Riffs, <\/em>that screw is cranked incredibly tight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe just wanted \u2018the part\u2019: The opening of Pantera<\/strong>\u2019s \u2018Primal Concrete Sledge\u2019, the breakdown in Primus<\/strong>‘ \u2018Pudding Time\u2019 \u2014 the shit that makes you move and lose your mind. Just that part<\/em> the whole time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across 11 concise, taut songs \u2014 most clocking in around 2 minutes or less \u2014 Rickshaw Billie\u2019s Burger Patrol<\/strong> demonstrates their skillful ability to blend the merciless low end of Leo Lydon\u2019s 8-string guitar, Aaron Metzdorf\u2019s masterful chordwork on the bass, and Sean St.Germain\u2019s driving drumming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hot on the heels of their breakout 5th studio release\u00a0Doom Wop\u00a0<\/em>(2023), Rickshaw Billie\u2019s Burger Patrol returns with\u00a0Big Dumb Riffs<\/em>: A whole new variant of the fuzzed out, overdriven, melodic, groovy music they have been making since 2016. While\u00a0Big Dumb Riffs<\/em>\u00a0is decidedly more aggressive and rhythmic, it still retains the overtly melodic feel of\u00a0Doom Wop<\/a><\/em>. But Leo Lydon\u2019s vocals are considerably more angry and negative (song titles like \u201c1-800-EAT-SHIT\u201d and \u201cBody Bag\u201d should be a clue).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe whole writing process was, \u2018what if we just played two notes the whole song\u2019,\u201d Metzdorf says. \u201c\u2018What if we tuned down to almost unusable string tension?\u2019, \u2018what if we write a record that will make everyone say ‘wow that is dumb\u2019? Leo and I really move around on stage a lot. Being a dingus is crucial to the groove. All these riffs were designed to allow us to act bigger and dumber on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Dumb Riffs<\/em> is available on vinyl LP, cassette, download and streaming, released on May 10, 2024. Orders are available HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
