After nearly a decade away from the stage, former MUSHROOMHEAD co-founder JEFFREY NOTHING is officially returning to live action with his first full tour in eight years.
The run will kick off July 25 and continue through August 26, hitting cities across the East Coast, Gulf Coast, Midwest, and New England. Support on the trek will be split between OCTOBER NOIR for the opening stretch and DIZASTERPIECE for the remainder of the dates.
Alongside the tour announcement, JEFFREY NOTHING has revealed details of his long-awaited new solo album, 202SICK, marking his first release since 2011. The record is set to arrive this fall via WURMgroup, the label helmed by producer Ulrich Wild.
Produced and composed by Joshua Vargas and mixed/mastered by Wild, 202SICK is said to channel the experimental spirit of early MUSHROOMHEAD while pushing into heavier and more abstract territory. The album will also feature guest vocal appearances from The End and the enigmatic masked performer The Hated Stranger, both of whom are expected to appear live on select tour dates.
For the upcoming shows, JEFFREY NOTHING will be backed by a brand-new lineup:
Jeffrey Nothing – vocals
Gozer Butler – bass
Cletus Demetus – guitar
Mangy James – lead guitar
Paul T. Giest – keys & samples
Kross Patrick – drums
Speaking on his return, NOTHING described the tour and album as the culmination of an eight-year journey, promising a raw and personal artistic statement while reconnecting with fans on the road.
