It was almost a year ago exactly that we feel headfirst into a blissful sonic gaze courtesy of Blushing, who dominated our hearts and playlists with not just a devilishly swirling seducer called “Sour Punch”, but a brilliant and loud February album in Possessions that positioned the Austin shoegazers as one of the most exciting new bands on the planet.
We’re not entirely sure Blushing ever made it up here to Boston last year, but we do know this: The band’s just-announced March tour with fellow Cool Texans Pale Dīan includes a March 12 date at the intimate O’Brien’s Pub in Allston. Holy smokes. And as if this Show of the Year contender couldn’t get any better, certified noise slingers Husbands volumize the bill to absurd levels (peep the seismic 2021 single “Shake”), making it one of those gigs we strongly encourage scoring tickets well in advance for. Like, immediately.
“We’re back on the road this March and are thrilled to be joined by our friends Pale Dīan for a number of dates,” Blushing write. “Tix/RSVP linktr.ee/blushingband (still waiting on some ticket links but RSVP now to be alerted when they’re added!). Save the date and share with your friends and foes to help us spread the good news!”
Harvard Avenue doesn’t stand a chance.
