New York noise-rock heroes Helmet have announced tours of the US and Europe.
Page Hamilton's band will play US shows promoting their latest album, 2023’s Left, on a co-headlining venture with Local H, then travel to Europe to play special shows performing their third album, 1994's Betty in full. The Betty 30th Anniversary Tour will kick off on November 15 in Prague, Czech Republic, and run through to December 10, wrapping up at the Electric Ballroom in London.
Page Hamilton says: “I swore off anniversary tours after Meantime & Betty 20th celebrations, but we worked with our former label to re-release Betty in the US and decided to. We’re stoked to get back to Europe to perform the entire Betty album for the last time. It’s been 30 years since we released it; we just did a US limited edition version that includes songs that were not on the original release. See you soon!”
The reissued, expanded Betty vinyl features five additional songs - Flushings, Thick, Pariah, Biscuits for Smut (Mutt Mix) and Biscuits for Smut (Pooch Mix) - plus new artwork by Derek Hess.
